Removing Bent Pushrod

[phutch11]

Had some bad rocker arm to new valve cover interference and bent the hell out of a pushrod.

Anyone have any slick suggestions on how to get it out w/o removing the manifold and going through all that crap. I was thinking of welding a nut to it an using a pry bar and block of wood to pry it out.

FYI...I have iron heads so dragging it through the pushrod hole doesn't bother me.

Thanks

Holy crap. u could prolly do that, but if i was you i would pull the heads and cam to check the cam and lifter.
