Peter, this is not difficult if you have a collapsible push rod tube which we sell for $19 and a new lifter (also $19). However I would be sure there isn't another problem that caused the lifter to fail. Take the push rod from this failed lifter and roll it across the table. If it is bent then you may have a bent valve as well. Let me know what you find. Please consider us when you purchase your parts. Ken Wilford John 3:16 www.vanagain.com
