I'm restoring my 1948 Cub. Got to the point where the valve work has to be done. The guides were too worn so they had to come out.
Used a socket head screw (fits a 1/4" bit), a cheap Harbor Freight drift that fits fairly tightly into the socket, and my BFH.
A few whacks on the top of the guide and they're out.
No visible harm to the block.
I was more worried about the drift slipping and possibly contacting
the lip of the valve set. Fortunately that didn't happen.
I busted one of those drifts off in the socket head with a misaligned hit. No problem, just picked up another drift and finished the job.
The guides on the exhaust valves seems to be a little more difficult to bang out of the block than the guides on the intake valves, but that was not a show stopper.
Hope this helps

Re: Cub valve guide removal-cheap and easy
I used a brass drift when I removed the old guides and installed the new ones.
