Replacing the valve stem seals is a task that requires some mechanical and maintenance knowledge. Each seal, whether right or left, is replaced in the same manner.

Use a cloth and rags to remove any dirt and grease. Detach the cover from the cylinder head and the exhaust rehabilitation unit.

Once this is done, take the extractor and apply it to the valve stem seal, using a rotary and pulling motion. Then insert the fitting sleeve to facilitate the extraction of the valve stem seal.
