You can do it on the car by pumping compressed air in to the cylinder (must be at TDC). The compressed air will keep the valves pushed up while you remove the valve springs.

Repair 99 Kia sportage Valve Oil seal?

to do this ,( if i understand your question), the oil valve seals are located on each valve inside the valve springs. To get to them you must remove the head and use a spring compression tool to release the valve springs to get to them.They have to be replaced ,there is no " repair ".Yo can also pressurize each spark plug hole with compressed air to keep the valves up so you can replace the seals, this will save you from removing the head as long as the valve does not drop into the piston chamber.Hope this helps.
