[Flathead Fever]

That All Power Keeper remover will rip those valve guide keepers right out with out needing to pry down on the guide with a valve bar. They don't come up for sale very often.

I fought with the mother of all stuck valve guides awhile back. I'm not big on beating on stuff so I tried something new that worked pretty slick. I just happened to walk by a bearing press plate I had hanging on the wall. That bearing press plate opened up far enough to fit over the valve's head. As I tightened the puller together it started lifting the valve up until the spring bottom out. I tightened it some more and the pressure popped the guide right out. The problem is bearing press plates can be a little expensive. This is my new go-to tool for stuck guides. It put a lot of pressure on the valve head so its possible it bent the valve.
