2008 Cadillac SRX Rocker Shaft Spring Kit Parts and Q&A

• Q: What tools are required to service the Rocker Shaft Spring Kit and Valve Stem Oil Seal replacement on the right side on 2008 Cadillac SRX?

  A: To perform valve guide seal services you will need en 46106 flywheel holding tool and all valve-related tools. These include en 46110 on vehicle valve compressor, en 46116 stem seal tool, en 46117 stem key installer/remover, and j 39313 Spark Plug adapter. Use en 46106 first to stop crankshaft rotation when you remove the Starter motor because omitting this step can force you to dismantle Camshaft timing components. First take off both camshafts and rocker arms before extracting the Spark Plug from the specific cylinder. Fit the j 39313 onto the cylinder and join it to power from a compressor. Fit the en 46110 tool above the cylinder and then tighten its valve spring compressor bolt. Use the en 46117 tool to extract valve keepers as you rotate the valve spring compressor nut on the en 46110. Then disconnect and take off the valve spring retainer plus springs. Apply the en 46116 to uninstall the valve stem seal before replacing it with new valve stem seals using this same tool. Set the hardware in place by adding the springs and retainer first then placing the tapered end of the valve keepers towards the seal. When the spring compression allows place both keepers on the valve and take off the en 46110. Take out and remove the j 39313 part before placing the spark plugs in. Reinsert both camshafts and rocker arms while taking out the en 46106 tool and placing the Starter unit.
