well lasnite i went into the garage with the head and stem seals thinking id have them popped in in no time, just a socket with extension and tap with a hammer...... easy
how wrong was i, there a complete fucking cunt to do as i found out!
fucked a few seals then gave up!
then tonight after speaking to a mate of mine thats a mechanic he suggested i try this setup, just put end of screwdriver down the guide to locate then push on hard
worked a treat ken
just gotta wait for some new seals to arrive then i can get it finished, might get on with painting and fitting new core plugs to the block
