Some years had a one piece spring seat/valve seal.

If you have a 2001+ car, the oil seals and stock spring seat will be one piece and you just pulled both out. If you have a 2000 or earlier, the oil seal will be a small black or brown thimble shaped thing, and you can now remove the stock spring seat (using a pen magnet is easiest to pick it up).

Don't know what I was thinking.
