Although I don't care for the idea...Those rocker studs can be salvaged...Mic the diameter to see how far off diameter is...
Shouldn't be more than a couple thousands...at most...If you have a lathe you could lock a nut or one slit a nut and polish them down a bit...Particularly around the lower edge, use a sharpening stone...At $125 bucks I'd probably try...400 to 600 grit wet/dry and a sheet of crocus cloth...The induction hardening should be a couple/three thousands thick...Might use a "sharpe" pen to see if your now touching the push rod bottom...Spin it a few times...See if it disappears...If you have no mic, just use some calipers...Digital...All I ever use anymore...If you know how to use them, for any dis-believer's...Calipers work fine in this situation...If your a pro you can use good ones all the time...
No lathe..? Try it on your drill press...if the chuck can open up enough to grab the adjusting nut(s)...

Why would you want to do that? They should be recycled. Probably made of a softer material than the originals also.

I agree. If they were mine and caused such aggravation I would modify them with a 3 pounder before scrapping so no one else would be tempted to use them.

I have to agree...But, with money down the drain...Guess I'm just cheap...Like a two dollar w****...Hope he can find some good one's...Without too much more hair pulling...
Yep...Softer ones would mean more metal dust in the pan over time...Dislike scraping that metalic stuff out of the pan...
Couldn't help but see the metal on the threads in the photo's...
