A screw driver with a stem a bit thicker than the axle going through the springs, would be the right tool plus a good pair of flat nose pliers (see Paul Navarros letter). Investment ? Nothing extra, as these tools should be in every household.
Things are very simple often & do not need special tools or machines. ============================================================ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, December 14, 2003 7:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Want quicker valves? William, Springs can be wound by hand without buying any tools except a good pair of flat nosed pliers. In place of the$200 tool, use a valve lever and bend the spring around it. It takes a little practice to get them wound evenly -but it works.
