Illustration 13 g00614409Note: The cylinder must be installed so that the hydraulic hose coupling faces downward.
Assemble Tool (E) in accordance with Illustration 13. Engage the seat removal plate (11) with the lower edge of the valve seat (10). This plate is a part of Tool (E).
Do not strike the highly finished surface of the cylinder head with hammer at any time, or damage to this surface will occur.
Attach Tool (C) to the cylinder of Tool (E). Operate Tool (C) to move the valve seat (10) out of the cylinder head. Do not allow Tool (E) to fall as the valve seat (10) is free of the cylinder head.

Inspect the valve guides (12). The inside diameter of the new valve guides is 16.031 0.028 mm (0.6311 0.0011 inch).
Illustration 15 g00614442Note: Use the hydraulic cylinder only in the position that is shown in Illustration 15.
The hydraulic cylinder is capable of applying more force than the threaded removal tool can withstand. Using this tooling without the safety retainer group in place could result in serious injury or death.
Inspect the bridge dowels (12). If necessary, use Tool (G) to remove these dowels. Do not allow Tool (G) to fall as bridge dowels (12) are free of the cylinder head.
Run Tool (C) to pull the bridge dowels out of the plugs in the cylinder head.
Inspect the dowel plugs that are in the cylinder head. If a replacement is necessary, remove the dowels.
Thoroughly clean the cylinder head and inspect the cylinder head.
Inspect the water jacket of the cylinder head. If cleaning is necessary, remove all the plugs from the cylinder head before using the hot tank
