  Q: How to replace the Rocker Shaft Spring Kit and Valve Stem Oil Seal on the right side on Cadillac DTS?

  A: First lift the vehicle and then take away both right side Camshafts before starting the valve stem oil seal and valve spring replacement. Start by taking out both parts between the Oil Pan and transaxle case before handling the torque converter cover. Use the j 44214 and lower the vehicle onto the ground. First clean the Spark Plug recess before taking out the Spark Plug from the selected cylinder. Insert the base plate of j 44211 through the Spark Plug hole and position the j 39313 carefully. Hold the valve closed by keeping steady air pressure on the tool. Push the arm of j 44211 down with the swivel nut attached to open the valve path towards the outlet. Put on a magnet to extract valve locks from the engine while you loosen the swivel nut with your fingers and swing the arm aside to take off the valve parts. Insert the j 38820 tool to grip and take out the old valve stem seal before inspecting the valve spring. Put clean engine oil on the valve stem and new seal before putting on the j 38820 seal protector because j 38820 will set the new valve stem seal in place. Push the arm back over the valve parts before tightening the swivel nut just enough to access the valve locks. Apply the j 43059 to install valve locks and then remove the swivel nut and arm from each valve that needs servicing. Lower the air pressure and remove the j39313 from the Spark Plug opening. Remove also the base plate that comes with the j44211 system. Rephrase the steps by first placing the Spark Plug in and second by repeating the entire process on other cylinders. After putting back the right camshafts lift the car once more then uninstall the j 44214 part to add the converter housing and screw down the Oil Pan to transaxle holder with 50 nm force (37 lb ft) before bringing the vehicle down.
