If you don't have the valve stem seal installer tool, and you're careful, a deepwell socket can be used to install them. On your dual valve springs, they should have come with a shim for between the head and spring, then install the valve stem seal, then spring, retainer, and keepers.

I use a neep socket and a little body hammer. Works great.
