Hi guys
I(apparently) have to change my valve stem seals, as I have the head off anyway. How do you remove them as they are deep within the valve recesses?

Re: Valve stem seals removal
And if you don't have the official valve stem seal removal tool, a piece of plastic cut and rolled and slid into the bucket hole (to protect the sides of the hole) and a paint can top remover work remarkably well. Catch the edge of the seal with the tool and pull. Done.

Re: Valve stem seals removal
Thanks big fella, have now received a removal tool so will soon be replacing them.
On another note I have a stiff no 5 spark plug hole, do you no know what size the thread is in there?
