1989 Ford Escort 4 cyl

Valve guide broke off on the bottom where it stops the valve when it goes up.A piece was still wrapped around the valve This bent the valve. I want to replace the valve, but I do not know how to get the the old valve guide out and replace it. Also, where can I get another valve guide?
Thanks

Hi there, you will need to get the head repaired by a head repairer as there is machining involved, the old guide may have to be knocked out and reamed to accept the new guide, also the new valve will have to be cut into the valve seat, the machinist will be able to supply all the parts.
