By removing the valve cover from the engine, then removing the rocker nut on the bad rocker. Refer to a technical manual for torque specifications, as this must be properly torqued!!!

Can all rocker arms need replacing at the same time?

Yes and they should all be changed at the same time.BUTIf you are changing rocker arms it indicates the inside of the rest of the engine is badly worn. DIETL: I have replaced a single rocker and would again if it made sense. In the case where I replaced one, the rocker had experienced a bearing failure likely due to a defective bearing from new. All the other bearings were fine and the rockers operating well. That car is still running over 50K later with the one changed rocker.I've personally only seen three failure modes for rocker arms. First is worn bearings in the rocker (if fitted - some model cars have no rocker bearings). Second is a worn bearing surface where the rocker contacts the valve stem. Third is a broken rocker.It would be a very rare occurrence for all rockers to break. It would also be relatively rare to have all rocker bearings fail. This would imply a lubricant failure. In this case, I'd say that a lot more than your rockers are damaged. In the event that the valve contact surfaces are worn, I'd suspect that your cams are worn as well. The latter two are both conditions that imply significant general engine wear.


Can you replace one rocker arm without adjusting valves?
