Just loosen the bolts and remove. They ride in a little collar. Maybe 0.5mm tall. Pretty firm fit

Wiggle wiggle wiggle. Some may say to not use a rubber mallet...

But once off they slip right out. Maybe a struggle if you are tight. I usually drop the valves down some. Kinda cache 22 in your case.

But necessary next time when you replace that nut.

I have a head on my bench. Ill try to shoot a pic. Although my track record with that has been inconsistent.
I would love any guidance or photos here. I admit to being a little scared of this job, having never tackled it before.

Thanks,

Packman
