GD3 L15 Valve Rocker Removal (Stripped a rocker out)

Long story short I stripped out a valve rocker trying to adjust the valves.
Here's how to take apart the valve rocker assembly because it took me way longer than it should have to figure it out






I found conflicting information as to if the rockers are unique to each cylinder so be sure to remember the order they go in.
Yes I am slightly retarded...
I should have never made fun of the guy who took three days to adjust his valves

With adjustable valves it may not be as much of an issue but the general rule is after the engine is broken in, use the corresponding part to it's "broken in" location. It wears in as a fingerprint basically. Ask me how I know.... Lol
