the answer is: Have him take apart everything to get the head off. Supply support, advice, send him tools and have frequent phone calls. Have him check this site for how to's.

Tell him to take the head to a shop that can test and measure it. If it needs something, do it.

THEN- go down there and help him install it. That is the critical phase where expertise and experience will make the difference.

BTW, tell him to bag and sort the parts as they come off.
