OK further to my last, I'm halfway through that thread now and have seen Falcon's experience of trying to twist off the retaining pin only served to break the part that wasn't supposed to break! Think I will have one more try on the inboard side if I can get the car a bit higher up for access, using the cut/file flat/HEAT the bejeezers out of it and punch straight-on method. At least should be less invasive than wrecking the pushrod.

If the worst happens, does anyone know if the pushrod is available & what it's "for real" name is? Can't find anything on a quick look, maybe a specialists?
