Are they split guides and do you have the old ones out yet?

 

[Pilot31135]

These are not split guides. 337 FH all had very similar valve guides. Not anything like a small flathead.

Nothing 'magic' about it, drive out/drive in.

Have used an air-hammer in similar situations (cam bearings etc.) makes it a lot easier.
