Help with Briggs 8hp Valve Spring keeper.

#1
I have a 8hp b&s Engine I am trying to lap the valves on. I got the intake valve out easy enough with the 2 screwdriver method.

The exhaust valve keeper is different than I have seen before on the smaller engines. It has a captive type retainer that I cannot seem to get off.

I do not have a spring compressor, I couldnt find one today that looked like it would work on the motor.

Any ideas?
