Replacing the Valve Stem Seal

Model: Vauxhall Kadet Kadet E - Years 1984-1993
Part: Engine

Replacing the valve stem seal is a challenging task that requires some mechanical knowledge. It is important to know that each seal, whether right or left, is replaced in the same manner. To begin, disconnect the cylinder head cover and the intake and exhaust adjustment unit. Next, remove the intermediate lever, camshaft, cylinder head, and finally, the valve spring for the stem. Once these operations are complete, take the puller and apply it to the valve stem seal, simultaneously performing a rotational and pulling motion.
