Ok I purchased the schley valve spring compressor (http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/shop/SP-91400.html)because it is a universal spring compressor that alot of people have used on their dsms when changing the valve seals. What I need to know is how do I get the passenger side mount on? The guides that the bolts of the cam caps are in the way. Are they removable if so how. Please help I need to get it put back together before it gets too godly cold I'm havin to do all of this outside of my garage :(.
 
If I remember correctly I had the tool mounts mounted diagonally from each other, not both on the same side. You have to get creative and use any of the holes to put the rod through each of them.

Use nuts as spacers.

This is what we decided to end up using after playing around with it alittle longer. This tool is great just need an extra hand if you want to do it the easy way so you can mess with those ####in keepers instead of having to hold the spring down.
