According to Bentley you simply pry the valves out with a screwdriver and drive
the new ones in with
a pipe of the specified diameter.
Then it looks like there are some tabs or depressions in the body around the
valves and you use a
punch to deform or crimp them over to lock the valves in place?
Is there more to it than that? Any tricks that I should know about.
BTW, it looks like Haynes has much more detailed info on reassembly.
