Stuff rope into the cylinder, turn crank to raise piston and it holds the valve up.

Cam/crank set to TDC firing on each hole you need to do this with, too.

remove the rocker arms. bring the piston of the cylnder you are working on up to TDC. Piston will hold the valve in place enough to remove spring. No need for rope and a chance of bending something.

Here is a suggestion by a gent dowwn under.
And it worked for the owner of the broken spring car

"Place a ring spanner on the valve collar and compress the valve spring by pushing down on the spanner; get an assistant to drop the cotters between the collar and the valve stem."
