    This just happens to be on a GS1000G head but pretty much all motorcycles/small engines are similar.Don't forget to thoroughly clean the burnt rubber bits of...

    What the heck is the need for the propane torch? Put that darn thing away! All your going to do is smoke up the place and have the need to clean to old sticky burnt rubber off the valve guides.

        He has been kicked off of here more than once.

        How does he still qualify as "our very own"?

        I'm with Rusty, though. Even though it may work, you then have more work to do to clean up the burnt rubber.
        I would rather wiggle it a few times and pull it off cleanly.

          I think the operative thing here is to get the rubber "softened up" but not to a point of melting...then they should slip off without any residue left behind. Then a swipe with a green scrubbie around them to polish them up.

            He is our very own because he is still here reading but not posting. He is here now, tomorrow, and forever..done and done. There is no way around that aspect, so I dont know what else to say.

              Think about it a second...why would he send me an email with a link about VALVE STEM SEALS that just happens to coincide with the guy asking about how to remove them??

                Most times the seals will pull off fairly easily. Sometimes they will be a little more testing. And on rarer occasions they can be pigs - that's when I get the gas torch comes out.

                If you burn any rubber it wipes of very easily.

                  Because he is a pest that e-mails several of us with similar links.

                  He has also been trying to 'stir the pot' with me, I refuse to play along.

                    Rather than the danger & cost of a torch rig, a regular blow dryer will do the same thing without the need or experience required for fire. Ray.

                      True, True... but can you also light your cigarette with the blow dryer?

                          Same here but I notice he always has one hanging out of his head in these videos. Reminds me of some old mechanics I know.

                              I like Eric's videos.....hes friggin weird and funny. I know he is public enemy #1 around here for various reasons/ opinions......I know his valve adjustment method just irritates the crap out of some on here. Lol
                              I talked on the phone with him a few months ago or so.....he walked me through a number of various procedures. He sure is a talker.haha..but a nice guy as far as I know.
                              Anyways...I must have been lucky with my 1100e seals because they pulled out easily with pliars. Pop. Done.
                              Also WShie......Im not sure your experience/ or what bike you have but I successfully did a top end rebuild on my 1100 if you need a hand or second opinion/ cylinder hone/ valve lapper and compound.
                              Or to ride. Im only 40 minutes east of downtown Cleve. and have time to screw off right now. Haha
