Welcome to the board from West Michigan!

Once you have the valve spring out of the way, removing the seals is easy. I just use my fingers to pluck them off. If they are stuck, you can use a screw driver. Some seals can be dried up and will fall of in pieces.

Good luck!

Better check your guides too, new seals on a sloppy valve wont accomplish much. If you find to much slack its best to do a (valve job) grind, nurl the guides, new seals.
