I want to remove my old valve stem seals/seats from my zetec head..I dont have the proper tool..Any one got any bright ideas before I bend over and take it to the ford dealership
Ihave a tool for removing valve stem oil seals, they are like a pair of pliers with curved jaws and a lip on the lower edge (when stood on end with handles uppermost) . have used pliers in the past ,found the best method was to lightly grip the seal and rotate until loosened before trying to pull seal from guide . Using the correct tool follows the same procedure can't say it worked better though. Any decent engine recondioners should be able to remove them for you, probably cheaper than a Ford dealer?
