6. Remove the rocker arm from the
deadshaft (see Figure 3). Discard all of
the old hardware (Oilite washer, thrust
washer, snap ring).

7. Loosen and push the shaft collar all the
way onto the deadshaft (see Figures 4 and

5).

8. Inspect the deadshaft for smoothness. A
badly worn or damaged shaft may require
sanding to smooth it enough for the new
rocker arm to slide on.
