So, have you decided how you are going to remove the stock push rods?
Devils advocate I know, but find tdc in first cylinder and determine which is loosest (push rod) and cut with bolt cutters.
Repeat for the other cylinder , then repeat on the other two push rods.
Make sure you have that shop manual when you are attempting all of this or follow the instructions in previous links.
You are not undoing the top end and saving having to remove fuel tank and replace those gaskets, unless you have to of course.
