Did you pull the rocker arm pivot pins out? You have to use a small slide hammer or an extraction kit....they're kinda pressed into the head.

It is 6mm.  You need abot 8-10 inches of all-thread and a nut to use it as a puller.

Ace hardware...Or you can just get the kit from DL700. I think it is about 20 bucks...

Get some standard all thread that is close to 6mm then use a metric tap on it to re-cut the threads to metric.

Its rough cutting standard to metric. I'd suggest finding steel rod and cut threads that way.

That'd work too...Or get a longer metric bolt and just put a nut below the bolt head to push down on the spacer. I am not sure how long the ones in the "kit" are, haven't tried one myself yet. I've also heard of people using a small slide hammer to pull it out
