How?

I'm going to be replacing them but I'm not sure how to get them off

edit - head is not on an engine, and has no valve springs/valves in it...

All that is left on them is the stem seal and the lower spring seat washer thingy.

I've never stripped a head properly, only valves out

So the valves are out the head..

It's just a case of putting the valve back into the head, sliding the valve stem seal on, then fitting them fiddily collets!
