1951 valve guide replacement

I also posted this question on my blog but I thought more people might see it here. I have a 1951 200 with a 288 engine that has a cracked valve guide that needs replaced. Is there anyone else who has done this that would care to share any tips or tricks to this job? I read through the service manual which of course lists some special tools which I don't have. The main thing I'm concerned with is how do I make sure I have the new guide driven into the right depth without the appropriate tool?
