I ended up ordering a proper valve keeper remover and installer from Amazon, overnight shipping:

Lisle 36050 Valve Keeper Remover and Installer
More info here

Lets see how this works out.

EDIT 02: Cancelled Lisle 36200 and ordered Lisle 36050, since the 36200 had comments on Amazon that it would not work with "small" engines

No they were the original ones.

Hmm...good to know which ones the 4th gen uses and you did a demonstration on install. You should include removal and then have moderators add to stickies.
