they should be just pressed in there. measure the OD of the guide and length and get some new ones, bring it to a machine shop and tell them u want to replace them

I had mine done on some 5.3 heads and the machine shop looked it up in a book for head components and orderd them for me. I had 2 replaced and it cost me 30 bucks including the guides. (and to do it right they should place the head in a special oven and heat it up to get the old one out and the new one in.
