i finally got the heads off that has a huge PITA!

scrapped my tubes, but i have spares (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

everything is off
rockers and that weird linear spring thing
jugs are off and tubes are off

im about to start cleaning the carbon off the heads
but i want to take the valves off first
so how do i do it?

also:

my dad said something about wanting to do valve guides...does that mean head work?
of do they just dirrectly replace?

ALSO:
what should i go about cleaning the heads with?
from a friend i head carb cleaner and elbow grease
what should i really do it with?

thank
