Hello there,
Just wondering how you get the valve stem seals off a DX head. little buggers seem to be in there pretty tight. started pulling them out with pliers but just started ripping rubber instead of getting them out. cheers, Tom

Re: Stem Seals
REplied in your project thread... but long nose plier... on the outside of hte seals (so the metal bit) twist and pull. I did the same first time I removed them, shredded the plastic / rubber... but the twist/pull method gets them off without issue.

Re: Stem Seals
You can get proper stem seal pliers, but as above, try to grip the metal ring, not the rubber.
