No valve stem seals can not be done in place.

Probably best you leave it alone then.You need compressed air, an adapter to fill the cylinders with air and a special valve spring compressor, and a thorough understanding of engine valve timing and crank and cam positioning relative to each other. Oh and a lot of patience.
