• Q: How to Service and Repair a Valve Stem Seal on 2000 Dodge Neon?

  A: First, take out the rocker arm shaft assemblies and use the crankshaft to obtain TDC on the piston during the compression stroke. Install the adapter tool and hose from your air pressure machine in the spark plug hole. Then turn on the cleaner and watch the scale dry out the residue. Connect adapter 6779 to Special Tool MD-998772A to push down the valve springs and remove the valve locks and then remove the spring. A valve guide seal tool is used to withdraw the valve guide seal from the tire. When installing, first set in the valve seal/valve spring seat assembly, then use Special Tool MD-998772A to press down on the valve springs just until you have locked the valves. After that, mount the rocker arm shafts and install the cylinder head cover.
