• Q: How to replace the Rocker Shaft Spring Kit and valve stem oil seal on 2009 Chevrolet HHR?

  A: Before working on valve spring replacement set a mechanism to lock the Crankshaft and use compressed air in the cylinder safely without risk of flywheel holding tool (J 43653) damage. Park the car in first gear for manual transmissions and use the parking brake while keeping the automatic transmissions without the Starter installed. Fit the flywheel holding tool (J 43653) then take out the Camshaft system and its roller followers. Secure the front section of valve spring compressor j43649 into the second bolt hole at the Camshaft cover and place other parts onto the Cylinder Head. Connect an Air Hose adapter to the Spark Plug hole and insert the spark plugs into the port. After attaching an Air Hose push 690 kpa (100 psi) of air into the cylinder. Change the valve spring position with j 43649 and then extract the valve spring parts including keepers. Insert the valve guide seal remover (part J 36017) to remove the valve seal and replace it with a new valve seal using the same tool until it sits completely on the valve guide. Push valve spring back into position after placing valve retainers with the valve spring compressor (J 43649). Disconnect the Air Hose adapter then remove the valve spring compressor tool j 43649 from the Cylinder Head position. Replace all spark plugs and insert the Camshaft roller followers along with the Camshaft. Replace the Starter when you take away the flywheel holding tool (J 43653) as needed.
