Need Cheap A__ tool suggestion - Valve stem seals

[rfkellner at snet.net (Rick Kellner)]

Drew, thanks for the tip.  I am assuming that you use a deep socket to
clear the valve stem, correct?  Or are you placing the seals on before
the valves?
Rick.

I use an 11mm 3/8 drive deep well socket, which I then put on a
bit-driver
handle.  You want something that the valve stem seal fits up in snugly,
but still pushes on the shoulder of the seal.

It takes a bit of a push to seat the seals on the guides, so whatever
you 
use has to be rigid - fuel line won't cut it I'm afraid.
