It could be a worn stud or worn nut. If it's really bad, you may need to install a new stud. If a new nut doesn't fit tight, you could try putting a jam nut on top of the rocker nut.

Why do the rocker arms on my jeep keep coming loose its a 1990 Jeep Wrangler?

Gotta have the correct torque specifications and tighten those nuts on the spring assemblies. Too tight,and they don't flutter right. Too loose,and they allow the rocker arms to wiggle out of whack. My apologies for not being more specific,I'm just a 'driveway mechanic'. You need to replace the locknuts for the rockers. I'm not sure if they are positive stop or not.

How to remove bolt to replace firing pin on rem. 1100 shot gun?

unload the gun first. remove mag nut and barrel. Now the O ring and rings. Make sure to remember location and placement. Pull the bolt handle out, it comes straight out with a hand pull. In the loading port you will see the mag stop on the side. This stop keeps the bolt from coming out. When you push this stop to the side you will notice the bolt and carrier comes out the front of the action. Now take the bolt in hand. You can see the firing pin and what is needed to replace it. Make sure to clean everything while it is down. Replace in reverse. Best of luck.
