- Tension the cylinder head on the cylinder head tensioning device, as illustrated.

- Connect the cylinder head tensioning device to the compressed air.

- Slide the air cushion with the lever - arrow - under the combustion chamber onto the valve stem seal that will be removed.

- Let enough compressed air flow into the air cushion until it contacts the valve plate.

- Position the drift (VAS 5161/3) on the valve spring plate and loosen the stuck valve retainers with a plastic mallet.






- Mount the (VAS 5161/19B) , taken from (VAS 5161) on the cylinder head.






- Secure the guide plate with the knurled screws (VAS 5161/12).

- Install engaging device (VAS 5161/6) with installation fork (VAS 5161/5) in guide plate.






- Slide installation cartridge (VAS 5161/8) in guide plate.

- Engage pressure fork (VAS 5161/2) on engaging device and press installation cartridge down.

- At the same time, rotate installation cartridge knurled screw right until points engage in the valve retainers.

- Move the knurled wheel back and forth slightly. This presses the valve retainers apart and captures them in the installation cartridge.

The tight spring coils - arrow - face toward cylinder head.

- Install the guide plate on the cylinder head.






- Insert installation cartridge in guide plate.

- Press the pressure fork down and pull the knurled screw up while turn left and right. This inserts the valve retainers.

- Release the pressure fork with the knurled screw still raised.

- Repeat the procedure on each valve.

Assembling
