Well boys & girls - the price of replacing valve stem seals on a N62 is about to take a nose dive. I just witnessed a tech using AGAs new tool - I wish I was half as smart as Martin (the owner).

Are they one piece seals or have they designed coupled halves?

Same seals (OEM) as if you were doing the job the hard way.
Note;
Updated seals are red in color
Old style (brown/black)

Awesome, can I ask do they remove the springs? If so is that a separate tool or does the one tool (set) do everything. I have a mechanical engineering brain and I can't think of any way that this is feasible so absolute kudos to them and I'm very excited to see this tool in action.

Yes, the springs are removed - All the same tool set. When you see it you'll wonder why you didn't think of it.
