just take an hammer and a deep socket to remove it !!

to replace it take a little piece of 3/4 inch tubing 5 or 6 inch long .. cut 2 doors on each sides at 1/8 inch of the bottom with a cutting wheels and clam a vise-grip at the top of the tube take yours friend too press the valve spring with it !!

and you put the keepers in place by the doors with a fine long nose pliers !!
