hello fellas.


so i removed all the valves from the b16 and now i need to remove the valve seals.... I SEARCHD.

how can i remove them without the special tool? (no vice grip is gooing near ny head )


thanks

 

I used a sharp punch and split them down the side.

 

seems too risky

 

no one?

 

i use a pair of pliers and alot of wiggling. im actually doing it right now to my spare head..

 

channel locks or pliers and wiggle away will work

 

my engine blue printing teacher uses channel locks in his shop.

 

Slide hammer valve seal removal tool and occasionally pliers with teeth to lift the seal a little if I can't get the edge of the hook underneath the seal to use the slide hammer.

no just pop them on there. sometimes if i cant get them all the way down by hand ill use a socket that fits over the edge of the seal perfectly and hammer it down some.

Sometimes it helps to install a valve to get the seal concentric. An old valve might be better if you're worried about hurting them.
