The tool is a great tool when it is adjusted correctly. With all the comments made about the fork angle, I am a bit surprised that Summit has not fixed this issue!
Thanks for this. I just bought this tool and it came with no instructions. From your video I can see how to use it and lock it and what to look for as far as centering the fork to get the keepers on. I will try on my Ford 289 with stud rockers.
Cool fix.
I had the same problem.
But all I did was flip the fork around and threaded it back on.
So it looks like the fork is upside down.

It's still cheap so it's not that bad just adjust the forks.

i tried this trick but my heavy BBC springs keep bending them back ...... mines a MOROSO tool but they are the same
Did I miss the part where you showed us how to fix it?
This had me thinking the same thing.
Is that tool even designed to work on a Vortec ?
Thurman Merman? Is that you?
Will it work on the chevy V8 5.7l 1990 engine.
