Hello all,
After going through hell and back to get the proper head for my 3B, I'm now installing all the valves and springs etc. I also ordered a pack of new valve stem seals to install as well, and I'm having a terrible time pressing them on. Unfortunately no where local do they have a specialized valve stem seal tool for tapping these on - so I went with a 14mm socket (there's another thread on here that recommends this approach as well). They seem to always go on cockeyed, and/or they're easily slipped back off once pressed on. Is there a trick to this? I think I've already damaged 2 or 3 of 8, so I'll have to order a whole other set. :/
