valve spring compressor

[Siral3x]

OK..went 3 times to Autozone today...tried all their sping compressors.
None of them would work on a 97 GST head.
I had the C clamp type, OHC type one..nothing..
I found online a Universal Valve Spring Compressor for $100??? I think that is to much
Any solutions will be grately apreciated.
Thank you,

You can also just grab a socket, make some cuts into it so you can reach in with some pliers and grab the valve locks( like in the first link). Then place the socket over the retainer and push down on the spring with your hand. Then reach in through the window you made, and remove the locks with the pliers. Then slowly relieve the presure on the spring and your done. It's probably not very safe, but I've done it many times

find a c-clamp big enough to reach around the engine, and get a eith 5/8 or 3/8 deep socket, sorry i cant remember off the top of my head which it is. cut out half the side of the socket just like the link on vafq. if you have access to a welder just weld the socket to the end of the clamp and there is ## compressor.
