best way to install valve stem seals?

Time to pull the crower springs & retainers and install the supertech kit..

What is the best method of installing these smaller valve seals?

The manual says to use special tool MD998737 to install seals. Not really sure what other shops are using in place of that...

I just pushed them on with my fingers. Be careful pulling the old ones off, as those little springs can fly all over the place.

You can give them a little tug with your fingers after you press them on to check that the lock spring is holding the seal in place. I've got no issues with burning oil, so I reckon it worked.
