Back in the day, and still if no compressor is available, stuffed a yard of sash cord down the spark plug hole then rotate up until it was nice and tight against the valves, then pop the keepers with a hammer and socket, replace the seals then use the lever action spring compressor to reassemble. Simple and quick.
