Selected User Reviews For BETOOLL HW0107 Valve Stem Seal Pliers
These were purchased to replace the seals on a 40 valve Audi V8 engine, and they performed flawlessly, making the job much easier. If the handles are too long to fit into a tight space, I recommend putting them in a vise and bending them at an angle, which you should do after you've completed all of your easily accessible seals.
You can also forget about it if you intend to reuse the stem seals (which I wouldn't recommend unless they're brand new). If you don't have this tool, you'll most likely tear them apart. Even though you can remove and install valve stem seals with old-fashioned needle nose or regular pliers, when working on heads with a total of 16V or even 24V, you'll thank God that you have these pliers to save not only your knuckles, but also your time.
Suzuki four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 0 liters engines with more than one cylinder It took me up to ten minutes to remove a single valve stem seal. They're snug, some of them stick with age, and they're recessed into a small opening, preventing most tools from getting to them. I realized I needed a special tool after literally removing one with a tiny chisel. In less than a minute, this tool removes every seal I've tried so far. What a savior of time and knuckles! br>br>By the way, according to the package, pliers are included for removing hoses. It would have to be a hose with a very small diameter, like a vacuum hose. It's an even better deal if they work as well for small hose as they do for valve seals.
This pair of pliers, like another reviewer's, came in the incorrect package, but I don't mind as long as the actual tool is correct. br>br>Built quality appears to be average, and the country of origin is not stamped or scribed on the package or the tool, but it is most likely China. Taiwan does it far better than the rest of the world. br>br>Removing valve stem seals with an average Erwin pliers was a pain, so hopefully this will make the job a lot easier.
I bought this tool to remove valve stem seals, and I figured I'd use it once and be done with it because I'm not likely to replace valve stem seals again anytime soon. However, the packaging claims that it can be used to remove springy hose clamps, and boy, does it do a good job! When I had to re-use several hose clamps, I used it. It works much better than regular pliers when it comes to putting the engine together. The hose clamp is held in place by the curved jaws, which makes it less likely to slip out.
When I took out the Valve Stem Seals (original seals) on my 23-year-old car, this held up beautifully. 316,000 miles on an old Land Cruiser br>br>The seals were extremely tough and refused to come off without a fight. With the amount of force required to remove them. I was worried that the tool would snap or lose its grip on the seals. There was no need to be concerned, as it turned out. This is a tough tool. It has exceeded my expectations.
The tool's contour and ergonomics are ideal for my work on Honda DOHC cylinder heads. My only complaint is that when there are stubborn valve seals, the tool body flexes as you pull with an excessive amount of force. Because of this flex, my extra effort to squeeze harder does not actually result in more grip. The ridged gripper end, which pulls the actual seal, is adequate but not exceptional - A sharper diamond-shaped grip design may be more effective at gripping the valve seals.
It was packaged as another tool at first, which perplexed me, but once I saw the jaws, I knew it was the right one. It did the job as well as could be expected, and it was far superior to using needle nose pliers or anything else. Pulling those seals is still difficult, and it nearly exhausted me, but they'd been cooking on the stems for 16 years, so I suppose it's to be expected. br>br>They weren't professional-looking, but they did the job for me.
