Once you have the valve cover off you'll see a hex portion on the shaft that will allow you to remove it. Just get one from a junkyard and a few others for spares. It goes back in the reverse of removal. Don't over-tighten them.My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint. But keep me honest on the update frequency! -
Just take the bolt/stud out and replace it.
The fist one is the front and the last one is the back which part you strip

What if I were to just buy new SS bolts or allen head bolts to replace them all?

Unless you can get the bolt made the way those are it wont work. The front ones also hold your rocker assembly to.Comment

I'm not sure why that would be "devious" but it would be more effort than it would be worth.My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint. But keep me honest on the update frequency!Comment
