How to Replace Valve Stem Seals by Yourself?
1 Answers
Remove the camshaft and hydraulic lifters, storing them face down. Remove the spark plugs and adjust the piston of the corresponding cylinder to top dead center. Screw the pressure hose into the threaded hole. Install the spring compression tool onto the cylinder head. Connect the pressure hose to the air compressor. Use the threaded mandrel and thrust plate to remove the spring. Gently tap the valve spring retainer to remove the valve lock. Use a tool to pull out the valve stem seal. Place the plastic sleeve onto the valve stem and apply a layer of engine oil to the seal lip. Install the seal onto the tool and slowly push it onto the valve guide.
