I would use a conventional spring compressor. The big C shaped thing that has a snap over lever on top. I just hook it under the spring retainer and apply some pressure. The other end is pushing down on the valve. It usually requires a small hammer jolt to make the retainer seperate and release the keepers. I have not done a set with the cones at the bottom. They may also need shock to release.
