Why are you replacing them?

Not that hard but I agree with above post, why are you replacing them? No need unless they are bent or you are modding some more that may require hardened pushrods. But if you must know, they are easy, no special tools required. Just pop valve covers, loosen rocker nut, remove rocker, and just pull the pushrod out. That simple. They just dangle there resting on the head when you take the rockers off. Then just install new pushrods, slap on the rockers and do a good valve adjustment and you're good.

Oh, remember to put the valve covers back on
