2009 Cadillac SRX Rocker Shaft Spring Kit Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to replace the Rocker Shaft Spring Kit and Valve Stem Oil Seal on the left side on 2009 Cadillac SRX?

  A: You have to uninstall the Starter first to reach the left side valve components. Mistakes often occur because the en 46106 (Flywheel Holding Tool) is not used. The Crankshaft may move which forces complete disassembly of the Camshaft timing machinery. Put the en 46106 in position to stop Crankshaft movement before taking off camshafts and rocker arms. Plug the appropriate cylinder and fasten the j 39313 Spark Plug port adapter to access compressed air. Place the en 46110 (On-Vehicle Valve Spring Compressor) onto the cylinder top. When using the en 46110 setup handle valve springs carefully because they are hazardous to dismantle if pressed within 24.0 mm (0.943 in). Tighten the valve spring compressor nut with en 46110 and install the en 46117 tool to remove valve keepers. Unfasten the en 46110 valve spring compressor nut and take out the valve spring retainer combined with valve spring. To remove the valve stem seal utilize tool en 46116. You need to use tool en 46116 to put in a new valve stem seal then add both valve spring and retainer. Cease holding the valve spring nut with en 46110 before installing new valve keepers at the proper angle on their tapered ends. After loading the spring hold the valve keepers inside. Later detach the en 46110 system and disconnect the j 39313 air supply. Place the spark plugs then rocker arms and camshafts on the engine while taking out the en 46106.
