I used the lovehorsepower method.
Basically, you use an allen key to compress the valve, and then a flat head screw driver flipped on its side to hold it compressed by the edge of the bucket. Once you have everything in place, use a mini screw driver and a magnetic pickup tool to fish the shim out. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
