JR, Get a large generic valve spring compressor, the big C clamp type. Then get a piece of 1" copper tubing about 4" long from a plumber or 1" steel conduit from an electrician and cut a window in it about 1" wide and 1.5" long near one end. Put that on top of the valve keeper between the keeper and the spring compressor, then compress the spring and reach through the window to remove and replace the keepers. You may want to tape the piece of tubing to the foot of the spring compressor so it stays centered. The socket and big hammer trick works (although it's a little brutal) but it's nearly impossible to re-assemble like that ;)
