Haven't tried it on this engine, but I can't see an issue fashioning something out of steel. So here is a quick description of how I would go at it.

1. You take off the cam shafts, so you can use the cam shaft cap holes to bold down your piece of steel or wood, whatever you make.
2. You use a Oxygen sensor socket, to push on the valve to compress the spring. The socket would be pushed down by your steel bracket, or block of wood that you made. I prefer to make something out of steel, because it would be thinner and you won't need to find super long bolts. If you are able to cut out a thick piece of steel, the socket won't be needed. Just make an access hole around the collet so that you can remove it.
3. You should have your compressor running and your leak down tool connected.
4. Your cylinder should be at TDC, because just in case something goes drastically wrong, you have a better chance of recovering the valve without pulling the head.
5. Now you can gain access through the oxygen sensor socket to remove said collets. Or through the hole you made in the steel plate.

I hope you understood that.

There might actually be a tool for this, but I don't know of one that would work on every engine. So I never looked into it.
