2003 Chevrolet Malibu Rocker Shaft Spring Kit Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the Rocker Shaft Spring Kit and valve stem oil seal on 2003 Chevrolet Malibu?

  A: Start valve spring and oil seal replacement by taking out both spark plugs and rocker arms. Put the j22794 Spark Plug port adapter on the Spark Plug opening. Use compressed air to block the valves in place. You can use either the j 5892-d or j 38606 tool to squeeze the valve spring. Take measurements from the valve locks, valve cap and valve spring before taking off the Valve Stem Oil Seal. Slide the new Valve Stem Oil Seal onto its valve guide boss through the plastic sleeve given for this purpose. Reassemble the spring seat with valve spring and valve cap before you press it a second time using j 38606 or j 5892-d. Insert valve locks and apply grease if needed before releasing the valve spring to check if the locks are properly positioned. Reposition both rocker arms and spark plugs on their original locations.
