302 Valve Springs
The first step is to remove the spark plug from the appropriate cylinder. We used a simple spark-plug adapter fitting from a compression tester combined with a quick-disconnect air fitting threaded directly to the adapter.

The Moroso tool fits both 31/48- and 71/416-inch rocker studs merely by swapping ends on the center shaft. The tool is also adjustable to allow compressing the spring just enough to expose the locks without coil-binding the spring. Once the handle travels over center, you can actually let go of it and use both hands to retrieve the locks.

A small magnet can also be helpful for grabbing locks that may fall inside the retainer.
