I didn't use the tools. Removing the roller followers by using the spring compressor is completely un-necessary. Just "inch" the cams slowly off and on and you'll be fine. It's also faster and IMO safer that way (b/c otherwise you risk knocking keepers off and dropping a valve and it doesn't take much of a bump to do that!). I also improvised on the timing chain wedge. It doesn't matter that much what you use or how you do it, just keep the tension on the chain so it does not slip off the lower sprocket.

+1. I did this method also and it was a lot easier. I even bought the spring compressor and couldn't figure out how to get the freaking followers off. Just be patience and careful.

I bought the spring compressor as well. But ended up not using it so I sent it back. Unfortunately I had to take a restocking fee. 
Oh well.

The spring compressor is 303-1039 and the wedge is 303-1175. The spring compressor should run you about $150 and the wedge $94.

Yes. That's really the only true time you need it.
