valve guide removal
Hey Guy, There is a safe way to get them out without drilling. You can tap them, screw in a piece of all thread, use a piece of tubing or a deep socket with 2 washers and pull it.Don.t use an impact wrench, just take your time and do it by hand.I built VW engines for 30 years, probably pulled a couple thousand like this. as far as putting them back in. lube them with antiseize compound take a 5/16 x 1 1/5 allen head bolt with a tight fitting washer use a round nose driver and vibrate them in with an air chisel at low pressure. there is a shoulder on the guide, leave about .010 to .015 clearance between that and the head boss.don't try to press them in. use this method and you will have great results.
