    That link is the one to the KD Ford valve manual! It shows what I believe to be the very best tool set...KD bar, KD keeper killer, KD C-clamp yankeroutener, possibly the KD guide driverdowner. The only improvement to that set would be a keeper puller with cam action gripper.
    That booklet is one of the greats of 20th century American literature.
    The KD set potentially allows you to pull everything without loss of sweat or blood.
    Like most flathead nuts, I collect odd valve tools in the hope of finding a magic bullet...
    The KD setup so far is my favorite. I bought most of mine from an ancient mechanic in Carlisle, Pennsylvania...he had used them longer than I had been alive, but no one but me was talking flathead to him any more.

    And for you...the KD Model A-B valve spring lifter and guide knocker are the best, too, better than KRW.

    Some pics of KD stuff: Go to http://www.google.com/advanced_patent_search and search the patent numbers

    Here is a Snap-On valve guide driver that I bought cheap on fleabay. I tried it on a couple of stuck guides and was able to move one. I have a 59A that I still need to take apart and was just playing with it to try the tool out. Since I don't know the limits of the tool I didn't try really hard. I'll work with it some more as soon as I get the frame cleaned up and out of the garage.
