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

  A:

  You must remove the left Camshafts and Starter motor as well as the valve stem oil seal and valve spring on the left side. Fix the Flywheel with the en 46326 holder. Before replacing the Spark Plug clean the area surrounding its chamber to avoid introducing dirt inside it and take out the current Spark Plug from that cylinder. After inserting the j 39313 into the Spark Plug hole, set the j 44211 base plate on top with a constant air supply maintaining valve closure. Set the swivel nut to expose the valve locks of the j 44211. Use a magnet after tightening to pull and remove the locks. Turn the swivel nut until you can move the arm backward to take out the valve spring retainer and valve spring. To extract the outdated valve stem seal staff the j 38820 tool. Apply clean engine oil to both ends of valve stem and seal before installing them into the base with the j 38820 device by rotating. After putting back the valve parts slide the j 44211 swivel nut tight until you can reach the valve locks through its socket. Position the valve locks with a magnetic device. Uninstall the j 44211 elements while reducing air pressure and taking out the j 39313 piece from the Spark Plug port. Put back the j 44211 base plate followed by the Spark Plug left camshafts and the Starter motor.
