There was also a special too available , this was for loosening really stuck valve guides . Ryans in Melbourne used to sell the tool. It was a length of 5/16" rod bored out one end, the bored end had a slot machined into it , the rod was bent into a odd shape, you slid the tool around the valve head , the bored end would fit around the valve stem, and a hammer blow on the tool would force the guide loose . I did have one, I loaned it to A. Browne .
