removing lifters

I know this is a dumb question but, how do you remove lifters? I'm not having any luck. I've tried a magnet and prying with a screwdriver.

You can get a tool for that at the parts store, 10-15 bucks, I think.

A snapring pliers (the expanding kind) can also be used. As you sqeeze the handles, they expand rather than contract. After you get the tool, you may find that there is a slight coating on the lifter that prevents it from coming out easily. Just work it back and forth, and it will eventually come free.

If the lifters are old and in bad shape, they me have a bit of a mushroom on the bottom side causing you trouble....
