Don't forget to take the shutofff valve arm off but be really careful not to lose the keyway off the shaft the plug will come out with the arm on but you'll never get it back on

through the plug (under shutoff selanoid) is quickest+easiest, that where there is little to no risk dropping the springs, and if you dont have a caliper count the clicks, and if that fails (which i couldnt feel the clicks when i took mine off) just throw them back in the pump [!make sure you use the new rear springs seats!] and put er back together, i first fired mine up and it revved all the way up to 2k+ at idle, so i backed off the adjuster nut a couple of time and it was trial and error and after 3 times i finally have it idling a little under what stock was, Really was worth it, its revs up alot higher quicker!
