Valves and Cylinder Heads Disassembly and 
Reassembly

S6JB0B1406033

Disassembly

1) Using special tools (A), (B) and (C), compress valve 

springs and then remove valve cotters (1) by using 
special tool (D).

2) Release special tool, and remove spring retainer and 

valve spring.

Special tool

(B):  09916–14910
(C):  09919–28610
(D):  09916–84511

3) Remove valve from combustion chamber side.
4) Remove valve stem seal (1) from valve guide, and 

then valve spring seat (2).

NOTE
Do not reuse seal once disassembled. Be 
sure to use new seal when assembling.

 

5) Using special tool (E) (Valve guide remover), drive 

valve guide out from combustion chamber side to 
valve spring side.

Special tool
(E):  09916–44910

NOTE
Do not reuse valve guide once disassembled. 
Be sure to use new valve guide (Oversize) 
when assembling.

Engine Mechanical:  1D-48

Reassembly

1) Before installing valve guide into cylinder head, ream 

guide hole with special tool (11 mm reamer) so as to 
remove burrs and make it truly round.

Special tool
(E):  09916–34542
(F):  09916–38210

2) Install valve guide to cylinder head.

Heat cylinder head uniformly at a temperature of 80 
to 100 

°C (176 to 212 °F) so that head will not be 

distorted, and drive new valve guide into hole with 
special tools. Drive in new valve guide until special 
tool (Valve guide installer) contacts cylinder head.
After installing, make sure that valve guide 
protrusions (1) by specified height from cylinder 
head.

Special tool
(G):  09916–58210
(H):  09917–87810

NOTE

• Do not reuse valve guide once 

disassembled. Install new valve guide 
(Oversize).

• Intake and exhaust valve guides are 

identical.

 

Outer diameter of oversized valve guide
11.088 – 11.103 mm (0.4365 – 0.4371 in.)

Valve guide protrusion (In and Ex)
13.5 mm (0.53 in.)

3) Ream valve guide bore with special tool (6.0 mm 

reamer). After reaming, clean bore.

Special tool
(E):  09916–34542
(I):  09916–37810

4) Install valve spring seat to cylinder head.
5) Install new valve stem seal (1) to valve guide.

After applying engine oil to seal and spindle of 
special tool (Valve guide installer handle), fit oil seal 
to spindle, and then install seal to valve guide by 
pushing special tool by hand.
After installing, check to be sure that seal is properly 
fixed to valve guide.

Special tool
(J):  09917–98221
(K):  09916–58210

NOTE

• Do not reuse seal once disassembled. Be 

sure to install new seal.

• When installing, never tap or hit special 

tool with a hammer or else. Install seal to 
guide only by pushing special tool by 
hand. Tapping or hitting special tool may 
cause damage to seal.
