Hi everyone wonder if anyone can help?
Was putting telescopic push rod tube on my 2.1wbx
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
Roy

I've found one of the these to good at removing studs as long as it's not broken flush.

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
