After I cracked some of my pedestals on my rockershaft, I have sourced some used pedestals and am ready to rebuild the shaft. In terms of disassembly, it looks like I need to remove two pins on the ends, remove the springs and the arms. How are the pedestals themselves removed? I saw other postings where folks had to twist them off with pliers, use boiling water or a little heat from a propane torch to work them off. Is that advisable?
For the reassembly, it looks like I get the rear pedestal to line up with the oil hole on the shaft and square the remaining pedestals from that one? Also, I bought a nylatron rocker spacer set -- will this make any real difference over the standard spring configuration?
Thanks for the advice!
