So I successfully removed my valve stem seals and am ready to reinstall them.

I bought this tool based upon a recommendation on here: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....L._SL1500_.jpg




How do I correctly use the tool? Just figure out which tip is the closed match to the valve stem seals' inner diameter, screw it onto the handle, install the seal over the handle tip then slide onto the valve stem???

I managed to keep these things in good shape so far so I really don't want to mess them up.



Thanks!

Yep, that's about right.

Find the center pin that fits best (it wont be super snug, doesn't need to be), lubricate the top of the valve guide and push the seal into place using the tool. You may also need to use a rubber mallet to gently tap the seal into place. They should be pretty snug.

Thanks, I thought so, but I successfully removed them without screwing them up so I really want to avoid messing them up so I figured I should ask before I try it.
