Help! Looking for your experience and suggestions replacing valve stem seals on D16A6
Hey Guys,
So we are replacing valve stem seals on a D16A6 motor this weekend, and have decided to try it without pulling the head, using one of the air hold tools and an overhead spring compressor.
The factory manual calls for a special tool for installing the seals, which I assume is used so you do not deform the gasket, which has a metal component to it.
Has anybody replaced these seals, either using or not using a special tool? If you have not used the special tool, what did you use, and did you have good results?
Thanks a bunch for your help!

a socket works.. i always use it. tap it gently till it sits flat, but use a big enough size to not smash the rubber
