I use the KD 2078. Put the piston at TDC on the compression stroke for the set of springs you are working on. Use an air adapter for the spark plug hole to put air in the cylinder, to keep the valve from dropping into the cylinder. Make sure it's it gear with the wheels blocked to reduce the chance of the air turing over the engine. If you just remove the plug on the cylinder you are working on that reduces the chances of the air turing over the engine. Yes, take it out and in gear to rotate the engine to work on the next cylinder. Compress the spring, remove the keepers, remove the retainer and spring and replace the seal. Don't accidently push on the valve stem. You could cause the cylinder to lose air and the valve to drop. Move on to the next one.
That's the way I have always done it.
