I would put them on my knee and use the edge of my hands to pull the levers down and flip the dog over the jaw. Another way is stand on the levers or spring if a long spring and set them that way. If you’re doing longsprings and standing on them make sure you stand as close to the eye as possible to try and not smash the end of the spring. Edit; I see you have coils so you only care about half of what I typed Last edited by 2cylinder; 10/28/22 09:23 PM. Rebuilding john deere and international/farmall carburetors
