  Q: How to Change the Rocker Shaft Spring Kit? What Are the Steps Involved on a GMC Canyon?

  A: The process to replace the Valve Stem Oil Seal and valve spring requires vehicle elevation before removing the service slot plug. Position the en 46547 into the Flywheel teeth before lowering the vehicle. Separate the valve Rocker Arms from the vehicle then remove the Spark Plugs. After applying the j 44228 (J 44228) base plate to the Spark Plug hole position of the serviced cylinder, insert the j 39313 (J 39313) into the Spark Plug hole while maintaining constant air pressure to keep the valve closed. Fasten the j 44228 arm with its swivel nut onto the appropriate valve stud ensuring all valve springs are handled with due caution. Once the swivel nut reaches adequate tightness for valve lock access you can extract the locks with a magnetic tool. Swinging the arm with loose swivel nut removes both the valve spring retainer and the valve spring. The j 38320 (J 38320) tool helps users retrieve and measure the valve spring and remove the old valve stem seal while twisting and pulling. The new valve stem requires a clean application of engine oil both on the valve stem surface and inside of the installation area. After lubrication place a seal protector over the valve stem before using the j 38320 tool to apply the new seal. Set the valve spring retainer and spring aside before swinging the j 44228 arm over the retainer to just tighten the swivel nut enough to insert the valve locks. Use the j 43059 (J 43059) to position valve locks on the valve and then remove the j 44228's swivel nut and arm. Rinse the j 39313 against the Spark Plug hole while relieving the air pressure until all the valves in the cylinder have been serviced to completion. After you remove the base plate of j 44228, set the spark plugs and valve rocker arms correctly before repeating the previous steps to lower the vehicle and install the service slot plug before supporting the vehicle again.
