Put piston of the cylinder at BDC, put a bunch of cord/rope in cylinder (through the spark plug hole), and move piston back towards TDC to hold the valves closed. Put a socket over the retainer/rotator and whack it with a hammer to loosen the retainer from the locks.

the rope trick is the bestest and fastest way to know them off.
now would be a good time to ditch the rotators and use 8 more intake retainers.
you would have to swap the 8 springs as well but set of comp 901-16 drop right on with stock seals and are less than 100$
those 84 spring are well used by now and may be a little weak
