Hi guys - so I finally worked up the courage to pull the rocker arm in the 71 TR6. This is the one that had a lot of sludge build up, and the #1 valve rocker arms oil weep holes were blocked with gunk and thus not lubricating the front of the valve and head assembly.
Turns out pull the rocker assembly was easy! Not sure why it took so long to jump in a do it, but anyway, the oil weep holes are now clear.
So here is where I need some help - when I took the assembly off I noticed the rear most #6 stud was partially stripped (I didn't do it - really!). You could only get the nut finger tight where as all the others took the torque specified in the manual. I ordered a replacement Part #76 from the diagram below. Any tips or tricks on getting the old stud out? Ditto on fitting the new stud?
Thanks in advance!
