Hi everyone wonder if anyone can help?

I found that the rocker stubs a damaged! dont know if it was me taking the bolts off.
how easy are they to replace and how easy are they to get a hold off?
Many thanks

If you can get the nut on the end of the stud with some packing washers start the engine and warm it up for a minute the alloy head expands quicker then the steel stud making it a bit looser in the head
