You're talking about the actual bronze fitting that's pressed into the head?

If so, the head should be heated in an oven first, and then the guides need to be pressed out. Installation in reverse by heating the head and chilling the guides, then pressing them in.

Best to have a machine shop replace valveguides, since they regularly do the job, and have the tools/jigs to do it rather quickly.
