Hah. I was going to suggest you send it to <a href="http://rockerarms.com" target="_blank">rockerarms.com</a>, but
figured shipping would be prohibitive.<br>
<br>
BTW, when did rockerarms rebuild your shaft? There's been at least
one change of ownership and a name change, I think, and responses
have been spotty. They did my BJ8's shaft many years ago, and it's
held up well.<br>

<div>Okay I got alot of great feedback, thank you. Took the
rocker off and the pedestals slide around. Was a bit
confused at first because this is for my A90, and I have a
spare a90 rocker from 1949 which is different, and on that one
the rocker pedestals are an interference fit (the rocker arms
and pushrods on an early A90 are really cool, but
complicated... they eliminate tappet noise but are too fiddly
and complicated).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But my A90 actually has a later motor which is the same as
a 100, and I have a rebuilt rocker on it from <a href="http://rockerarms.com" target="_blank">rockerarms.com</a>. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It seems the two inner pedestals are free floating, and the
two outer pedestals have a slight interference - I think the
interference fit is to hold the shaft in placeso that the
banjo bolt will go in the hole on the shaft. I can remove the
outer pedestals off with a slight tapping with a rubber
mallot.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Anyway, hope that helps.</div>
<div><br>

<div>Cheers,</div>

<div>either me or a previous mechanic bunged up the
banjo bolt hole on my rocker shaft. either way I have
to replace the pedestal.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there an easy way to remove the pedestals from
the rocker shaft so I can replace the broken one?</div>
