Preliminary Work

Information 

• The valve-stem seals can be replaced when installed. 
• For removing valve-stem seals that are difficult to reach, use hand-held valve-stem seal pliers. 
• Depending on the tool setup, peripheral components at the sides, such as water tank walls or servo oil reservoirs, may first have to be removed. 
• The tool can be adjusted to all M6 or M8 studs or internal threads (tool details below). 
• The angle of the assembly bar lever can be adjusted according to space requirements.
