Blacktop Zetec Cylinderhead Manual
tried searching but can't find anything to download regarding the assembly/ disassembly of the cylinderhead. Mainly i want to remove the valves
but not sure how to get at the collets
Speed has never killed anyone. Suddenly becoming stationary... that's what
gets you.

Have you got a valve spring compressor?
If so then compress the valves and remove the collets with one of those small magnet on a stick things.
If not then with the cylinder head on something it won't get damaged on, get a hammer, 16mm (ish) socket and an extension. Hit the valve cap
down a couple of times and the collets will jump out. This won't work for refitting them though. You'll need a compressor for that.

On a Zetec you will need to remove the camshaft first and then the followers, making sure that you keep any shims together with the followers and
ensure that the followers go back in the same place, as this is a black top you will also need to reshim the followers on working the valves or grind
down the ends of the valves.

They "should" just pull out, but will probably be held in by a film of oil. I have done them (with a bit of a struggle with my fingers,
but you could use a pair of pump pliers if the jaws are wrapped in something like masking tape first (to avoid any possible damage). A straight pull
doesn't always work, so try a rotating motion as well.
Long live RWD...
