Default Holley Quick Change Jet/Bowl Kit Question

Any trick to removing and/or replacing the jets using the jet screw driver supplied with this kit. I got tired of removing the fuel bowl to change jets so I installed one of these kits. Sounded good at the time. I did a dry run and the jets just fall off in the bowl anyway. Any tricks of the trade from you racers out there?? Holley is a 4160 - 750cfm.

The supplied tool goes around the jet in the metering block and kind of holds it for R&R ing. Try keeping pressure on the jet being removed until it is past unthreaded and bring it straight back without tapping the sides..


Just out on the work bench does it hold the jet firmly?

Nope. Try to hold it level, with a jet attached, and it just falls off. It's not tight at all. I fail to see how this is going to be of any help.
