It's really as easy as it looks. Unbolt the rocker and pull it off. Just be sure to adjust the valve lash when you bolt the new rocker on.

you need springs, retainers, locks, rockers (self aligning). If you go with non self aligning you need guide plates and hardened pushrods.

And if the rockers are not narrow body (for the center bolt valve covers) then the valve covers need midification.
