There is no such thing as a "pushrod puller" you simply unbolt the rockers and remove the pushrods, make sure not to mix them up or you will trash your motor. The rockers can be mixed and matched so you can just throw them in a pile. The tab on the pedastal of the rockers makes them self aligning, all you need to do is torque them to the proper spec and preload. Which I believe is 18 ft/lbs + 90 degrees but I may be wrong so check that before you use it. I dont have my haynes manual with me to find out for sure. Hope that is what you were looking for.

do you have a phonenumber i can call you at? PM me it and ill PM you mine, it will just help for a quicker response,
and i figured out that the alt is still hot when it is hooked up... LOLZAP i got it good, good thing the battery is really dead (so much it wont play the radio)

there is a pushrod puller, but im not waiting to order it, and no one around here has it
