How to Remove and Replace a Valve Stem Seal with the Cylinder Head Off on Dodge Caravan?

The first step is to take out the cylinder head from the cylinder block before touching the valve stem seal. Grab your universal valve spring compressor and press down to compress the springs before unscrewing the valve retaining locks, valve spring retainers, valve stem seals and valve springs. Before removing the valves, smooth any burrs from the valve stem lock grooves to save the valve guides and be sure to figure out which valves, locks and retainers belong where in the cylinder head. Take some time to see if the valves are in good shape.

Before doing anything on the valve stem seal, first pull out the camshafts and turn the crankshaft until the piston is at its most compressed point. Link the air hose to the adapter in the spark plug hole and try blowing 90 - 120 psi air into the hole. Install Special Tool MD-998772-A, attaching adapter 6779, to compress the springs and take out the valve locks. Only then remove the valve spring(s). Apply a valve stem seal tool to take off each of the valve stem seals. The first step when installing is to set the valve seal/valve spring seat assembly firmly onto the valve guide by pressing it down. After that, use the Special Tool MD-998772-A with adapter 6779 to compress the valve spring so that the locking push is compatible, without nicking the valve stems. Following this, unplug the air tube and fit the two spark plugs, before you install the camshafts and cover the cylinder head.
