When I was getting excessive blow by I actually blew all the new valve stem seals with less than 10k miles on them. So I replaced them with the motor in the car. All you need to so is:
1 - pull the spark plug, and put a long screw driver into the cylinder to see when cylinder 1 is at TDC. Then remove your springs. When valves drop they will still stick out more than an inch.
2 - Use a screw driver to gently pry up each side till the pop off, pop new ones on, put springs back on.
3 - Put spark plugs back in
4 - You can do cylinders 1 and 4 at the same time because they are in line.
5 - Remove the spark plug from cylinder 2, insert long screw driver, and rotate till it is at TDC.
6 - Repeat steps 1 -3.
7 - you can do cylinders 2 and 3 together cause they are inline.
You don't need fancy tools, just common sense.
Hope this saves you from over thinking it.
