Youll have to pull the head IIRC. If its the #6 intake or exhaust one then you can prolly get by with pulling the shaft out the front (MAYBE) without pulling the head off.

No good way to do it on the car (and really no way if the shafts are stuck good in the head)
Pull the head order the upper gasket kit, new head bolts, exhaust studs an nuts, t-stat, t belt an tenisinor, water pump, an what ever you need for the head or what ever else you might want to update while you are in there (I would do the starter too while the intake is off)
For the rocker shafts its not hard just pop the black caps off each end, remove the rocker retaining clips an the cam gear. Then take a long 3/8 extension (put a few togeather if you have too) craftsman's fit all the way through and drive the shafts out. Dont bash really hard you will fuck up the seal in the ends but hey new shafts are like 30 buck apice if you do fuck em up.

pull the head, make sure the rockers are off to the sides of the cam lobes and the shafts will come out with a suitable drift and light tapping. if you have to beat them something is in a bind.Comment
