Not that it doesn't work well. It works just fine. It is just more difficult to do. I'm presuming that they talk about filling the cylinder with air (you can also do the rope method of filling the cylinder with rope/string. You are basically making it so the valves don't drop down into the cylinder). Now you have to set something up to compress the spring so you can get to the seal. Whereas access is much easier (and compression much simpler) with the head off.
