Default valve stem seals

think my stem seals are shot
can they be done as per a cvh without removing the head or is it a head off jobbie?

Very difficult to do on the cossie because of the recessed valves, would be ok if the retainers let go of the collets easy enuff though. High risk of bending valves if they don`t want to let go.

As said can be done, but uber fiddly.
