yeah , put the head on a carpet tile in the bench, then a socket over the washer, one good hard strike shocks the collets off the stems, then collect the bits and note ther position.

and fer **** sake dunt miss with the 'ammer, it could be costly, once yer done one its easy

nope nothing brakes, if a spring brakes ( one in a million) it is better it brakes now than when its running ! collets are ok , make sure yer reseat / grind in the valves tho !

try googling this question as it might explain it in more detail for you.

A worn valve seat is very shiny (looks like chrome) but has black pits in it. When you lap a valve correctly, the valve grinding compound grinds the valve seat surface of the valve and the head. These shiny surfaces will turn a dull color. When the dull encircles the entire ring, then the valve is lapped. All the black pits must also turn the dull color.

There are course and fine grit grinding compounds. you will need to get a valve grinding stick £1, some paste £2.50 get course and fine , google valve grinding thers loads of vids etc showing how to do it propperly
