Paul Hardy, Jr., South Charleston, WV, 1999 Dodge Neon 2.0

Can you please explain (in detail for dummies) the "big screwdriver method" of removing / installing the rockers on a DOHC 2.0. Pictures would be nice. Thanks guys!

Sure, here ya go. This works on all 2.0L and 2.4L twin-cam Mopars, and probably on the 2.7L V-6, too. One screwdriver simply compresses the valve spring by lifting the lash-adjuster end of the rocker arm, and the second applies lateral force to remove (or install) the arm. Easier done than said!
