[Spridgets] Broken rocker arm

[lotuspilot at frontier.com]

This is pretty much the way that I did it.  I only had to loosen one head nut and then I could take out the set screw and slide the hole tube that the rockers rotate on forward just enough to pull the broken rocker off and then slide the tube back into position and replace the washers and cotter pins in the ends.  I just started it and all seems well.  Please wish me luck.
Thanks all for the help.

 1.Open bonnet.
2. Remove valve cover.
3. Remove nuts on rocker shaft pedestals.
4.Lift off rocker shaft, rockers and pedestals.
5.Remove split pin at rear of rocker assembly.
6.Slide spacers, rockers, springs and pedestals off shaft: KEEP THEM IN THE CORRECT ORDER  (slide them onto a long piece of wire or dowel) look for any broken bits of the failed rocker, if you can't find all of it pull the pan and look harder. 
7.Check all rockers rocker-shaft and push-rods for excessive wear.  Replace broken/worn rocker, rocker-shaft, and push-rods, and re-bush rockers as needed.
8.Assembly is the reverse of dis-assembly. Don' forget to re-torque the head properly.
