• Q: How to replace the Rocker Shaft Spring Kit and valve stem oil seal on 2006 GMC Canyon?

  A: Start Valve Stem Oil Seal and valve spring replacement by raising and supporting the vehicle. Insert the en 46547 into Flywheel teeth by taking out the service slot plug before lowering the vehicle onto the ground. Take out both valve rocker arms and spark plugs first. Rest the j 44228 (J 44228) base plate over the Spark Plug opening of the chosen cylinder while placing j 39313 (J 39313) in the plug hole to create constant air pressure that keeps the valve sealed. Secure the arm and swivel nut of the j 44228 (J 44228) onto the valve stud but restrict the tightening to just enough for valve lock extraction. A magnet takes out the valve locks while you loosen the swivel nut before swinging the arm of j 44228 (J 44228) away from the valve spring retainer to take out both the valve spring retainer and spring. Twist and pull the j38820 tool to take out the valve stem seal and toss the worn part. Apply engine oil to both parts of the valve stem and new seal's inner circumference before installing a seal protector then inserting the j 38820 tool to place the new seal. After installing the valve spring retainer and spring position the j 44228 arm over the parts. Tighten its swivel nut a little to give room for valve lock placement. Place the valve locks into position through the j 43059 tool then take off the j 44228 swivel nut and arm. After servicing all valves complete the process by getting rid of trapped air pressure and taking out the j 39313 (J 39313) from the Spark Plug throat. Complete the process by installing the spark plugs and valve rocker arms at the base plate of the j 44228. Then lift the vehicle again for service slot plug and en 46547 telemetry removal.
