Out in my garage the work bench backs up to wall studs. When doing a VW engine 35 years ago, I pivoted a 2x along side a wall stud to make a lever and I think I bolted a piece of about 1" angle iron to the lever. I put a block of wood under the valve head so it didn't slip down and I pushed down with the 2x lever and the end of the angle iron pushing on the top spring cap. As I recall it worked OK. The lever pivot to the stud was probably a 1/4" bolt as was the pivot to the length of angle iron.
