When refurbishing a cylinder head, it is good practice to also replace the valve guide seals, which are generally included in the gasket kit. Once the head is on the workbench, use the appropriate arch clamp to compress the valve return spring and separate the retaining caps from the spring seat; then remove the spring and valve and use the special extractor to remove the oil seal.

Clean the seal seat thoroughly, lubricate, and insert the new one, then reposition the lubricated valve and the spring with the cap to be secured with the respective retaining caps.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
