Try this for the valve adjustment:

As for changing the valve springs I have not found anything on the internet but I am sure it is in one of those service manuals you can buy at your local parts stores. Hope this helps.

Scott, it may take a while searching for it but I'm sure very good spring change instructions are on the http://www.bankspower.com/ website with the install instructions for their exhaust brake.

Besides with the GSK you also need 60 springs for most e-brakes.
