+ | There is a small amount of pressure on the hydraulic lifter plunger holding the top retainer clip in place on a dry lifter. \\ | ||
+ | It can be pushed down with your finger to install the clip. \\ | ||
+ | But with a lifter half or more full of oil, it's harder to work the plunger with your fingers as the pressure behind the plunger is greater. \\ | ||
+ | In fact, it's nearly impossible to assemble a lifter completely full of oil. \\ | ||
+ | If you install the lifter into a holder, that frees up both hands and gives better leverage on the plunger. \\ | ||
+ | The holder below is fabbed from a steel sheet and a welded bushing to hold the lifter. \\ | ||
+ | A 2x4 block of wood with a 1" hole drilled into it can also be used to hold the lifter. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Below is a fabbed steel holder. \\ | ||
+ | The block is used to press the plunger down. A spare pushrod or screwdriver can also be used to depress the plunger. | ||
