If it's still on the engine, you can do what I always do:
1. remove spark plugs
2. feed clean small-diameter soft tubing
3. turn crank until piston stops
4. change the seals
5. repeat next cylinder
The tubing inside the cylinder holds the valves from falling down.

or you can do what I did to change valve springs and retainers in my CA, by pumping the cylinder full of air with piston at TDC.
I got an old spark plug, and busted the ceramic part out, and then braised in a fitting that is the same as the tire valve stem.
