Should not have to. EGR valves are usually a very simple bolt-off, bolt-on replacement.
Absolutly, there are tools for fixing clogged radiators but I recommend you play it safe and take it to a certified repair shop.
take the bolts out that hold them on and they will come right off.
By using an air compressor to hold the valves shut, while you work on them. Each spark plug is removed and an adapter is used to screw into the plug location. This adapter is then connected to compressed air. Talk to may reputable mechanic and he can help you.The above answer is right WHEN replacing the VALVE SEALS. But the question was about replacing the valve guides. YOU MUST remove the heads and take them to a machine shop to have the valve guides replaced. NO OTHER WAY.
Valve cover gaskets are a very expensive repair if you can't do it yourself. To get to them, you have to take apart the engine starting at the top and work your way down to the cylinder heads. It is very labor intensive and the labor was around $400 while the part was only $20.
When asked from a mechanic about replacing the valve seals on a 5.0 V8 mustang engine, i was quoted 300-400. I have yet to take him up on that offer. This is in the 20164 zip code area.
You dont. In most cercumstances it is unnecessary. Try replacing the EGR valve position sensor (DPFE?) that should clear up any issues. if not then take it to a certified mechanic
take them off, then get a cloth and clean it. And you can hoover it up a little.
Valve stem seals? Either you change the valve stem, or you change the valve core. Depends on where your air is leaking from. If it's the valve core, you simply take a valve core removal tool or pocket screwdriver with a valve core removal end (either one can be had cheaply at an auto parts store), uncscrew the old valve core out, insert the new valve core, and tighten it in. If you're replacing the entire valve stem, best to let a tire shop do this, as your tire will have to be dismounted, remounted, and balanced again.
Not certified but, take the valve cover off. The gasket will be the rubber piece on the cover. Just replace it with a new and make sure you snug fit them on web replacing. Finger right is what I was told hope I helped out

did you take out spark plugs to make it easier. only turn clockwise direction or the natural direction the engine runs. Remember if you separate the crankshaft from the valve cam via timing belt , then turn the crank you will probably have the piston come up and hit the valves. So it is very important to keep the valve cams in time with the crank when doing the timing belt, you could damage or bend a valve.
When delta made a shower valve with the 3 silver soldered soft copper extensions on the valve they didn't know what kind of disaster they created. When you try to change the rubber rings and springs in the valve, it can be impossible to take the main nut off with out tweaking the valve because the chrome escutcheon that doesn't come off unless the main nut is off just spins freely when you need to hold the valve while you try to unscrew the main nut. What I found out to be the easiest way is to cut the chrome escutcheon completely off and then you can grab the valve with pliers and not twist the valve body, of course you will need a new escutcheon when your done replacing the parts of the valve so the next plumber or homeowner can do the same thing later on. I can only imagine the billions of escutcheons they need to make for that very poorly designed valve.
