I'm new to sprinkler system repair. I want to replace a nozzle on a pop up
head. Simple enough. My question is this: How do I get the pop up head to
stay up after the sprinklers are off so that I can screw on the new nozzle?

By hand. Pull it up, hold the stem and work. In a pinch I have used
help to do this while I go get something <g>.

Like the previous poster stated, pull it up by hand. If you can't get
it a hold of it sometimes a screwdriver helps. Put the tip of the
screwdriver into the little slot the water sprays out and "coax" it up.

Most sprinkler manufacturers have a plastic clip widget that you can
snap onto the sprinkler while it's up. It then prevents it from going
back in so you can work on it. They also have a tool you can insert
into the head to pull it up. You can probably get them online or from
a local supply house.
