Title: going to replace valve stem seals - special tools?
Post by: chrissev on October 13, 2004, 11:20:36 am
I'm going to replace my valve stem seals and wonder if anyone knows anything about the two special tools you need for this job.  Firstly, the valve spring compressor -will any valve spring compressor work or do I need to get a particular type.  Secondly, the pushing tool to instal the valve stem seals.  I see this is a vw special tool.  It looks like something I could make myself.  Has anyone ever made a tool like this to push the new stem seals over the valve stems?
BTW the car is an 88 Jetta Turbo Diesel
