I got the tool and tried it on a 9-3 head I'm working on and the keepers flew out like no tomorrow but installing them was another matter and it doesn't seem to work. At best after several attempts I have gotten one of the two to stay at the correct position but all other times, they get lodged sideways or doesn't stay at all.
I'm not quite sure how the process is suppose to happen since all is covered up by the tool but I wonder if the stem size play a role since I'm working on a 5mm stem.
It says 4.5mm to 7.5mm in description but it's hard to tell why the magic does not happen.
