Identify each part as it is removed so that each item can be installed.

Inspect the rocker arm shaft and rocker arms.

If reused, the rocker arms must be installed in the same positions.

When removing, or installing the rocker arm assembly, do not remove the camshaft holder bolts. The bolts will keep the holders and rocker arms on the shaft.

Prior to reassembling, clean all the parts in solvent, dry them, and apply lubricant to any contact points.

Bundle the rocker arms with rubber bands to keep them together as a set.

When replacing the VTEC rocker arm assembly, remove the fastening hardware from the new VTEC rocker arm assembly.
