  Q: What tools are required to service and repair the valve guide seal, replace the valve stem oil seal, and valve spring on Chevrolet SSR?

  A: When you need to fix the Valve Stem Oil Seal and both Valve Stem Oil Seal and valve spring you should first acquire Spark Plug port adapter (J 22794) and valve spring compressor (J 38606). Seal the valve service procedure with a Spark Plug port adapter (J 22794) and pull the Spark Plug wire boot 1/2 turn while locking its connection with the Spark Plug. At normal temperature detach spark plugs from the Cylinder Head with a moderate rotation while removing any dirt from the engine spaces before taking out the spark plugs. Insert the Spark Plug port adapter (J 22794) into the Spark Plug hole and link an air hose. Use compressed air to position the valves before starting engine work. Apply the valve spring compressor (J 38606) to press down the valve spring then detach the valve stem keys (225). Slowly reduce valve spring force with the tool before taking it off. Then pull out the valve spring cap (224) and then the valve spring (223). After that take off the Valve Stem Oil Seal and its accompanying shim (222). Clean all valve spring parts in the Cylinder Head spaces then set the Valve Stem Oil Seal and shim piece 222 alongside the valve spring 223 and valve spring cap 224. Put valve keys in position with grease and use the valve spring compressor (J 38606) to force down valve spring until keys find their natural seats inside the valve stem groove. Use the valve spring compressor to pressurize the spring until valve keys remain secure before removing both tools. Use a plastic-headed hammer to set the keys correctly if the end of the valve stem does not seat properly. To finish the process start the Spark Plug by hand then tighten it to 15 nm while verifying all Spark Plug wire installations prior replacing the valve Rocker Arm.
