3.6l valve install
I have the heads off the engine trying to fix a no compression issue. All the valves were leaking when I filled the exhaust and intake ports with water, some worse than others. Taking the valve spring keepers off was easy using a deep 1/2 socket and a hammer. After lapping the valves and putting in new valve stem oil seals i realized i cannot put the springs and keepers back in place, I have tried all my valve spring compressors, and none have worked. I am seriously aggravated after losing several keepers and have called it a day till i can figure this out. where can i get the proper tool? what are the tips and tricks?

Dont give up but getting aggravated & walking away for awhile is a great tool as well.

Dynamite is always a good tool when all else fails.

Believe EN-46110 by Kent Moore is what you need.
