Thank you, Tony. You might want to get one of these Tusk Spring Pullers.

Great idea! Thank you, Weld. I have plenty of washers.

I purchased a Stockton spring puller from Cycle Gear. The first pull on the spring, ripped the hook right out. I think they were meant for brake springs and the like.

Yes, this puller is specified for exhaust springs. Thanks for the warning.

I'm happy to pass that tip on. I learned it from a smart gentleman on another forum.

It took a lot of washers, but I got the spring on.

Stumbled across this Dyno test result for the Rx3 EFI engine
Thought it might be of interest to some.

Glad to hear that. I've shared that tip many times, and it's all thanks to the gentleman who shared it with me. I'll let him know.
