Valve stem seal help
1991 Mazda B2600i
Destroyed 4 new seals on the first valve (easiest to get to) These are thin copper (?) shells with a spring loaded runbber ring on top. Can't seem to drive them straight. I've installed thousands of large seals over the last 60 years, but this has me baffled. Using a socket and tapping gently. Always crooked. Will a drive tool set really help? Should I machine an exact fitting driving tool? All advise greatly appreciated. This is a one time repair to replace leaking seals. Don't mind buying a tool set if it really makes a difference and obviates my klutziness. Thanks |

A quick web search shows a head: http://www.killers4hire.com/files/ma...402000E11.html with diagram item #3 valve stem seal noted as 'use special tool #49 T032 302'. Probably simple to fabricate, tool sells for about $15. -- Andrew Muzi <www.yellowjersey.org/> Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

Thanks Amuzi,
"The press on by hand" doesn't seem to work. Will try again. Thanks. |
