When taking the cam out how do you take the pins out without a slide hammer?

Also I have to replace a 6205 NSK bearing but there's letters at the end of 6205 with the ones I'm seeing online but there all the same dimensions do those letters mean anything?When taking the cam out how do you take the rocker pins out?
No like you know the pins that are threaded in the inside that people pull out to take the cam out I don't know how to pull them out. Do you even have to pull them out?Are you saying you're having trouble pulling the cam out?
YesThere aren't any pins to pull the cam. Do you mean the rockers?
I was thinking if I get a threaded rod then thread it into the pin and put a deep socket through the rod and a nut and washer on top of the socket and tighten the nut against the socket while holding the top of the bolt with vice grips do you think that will work?There aren't any pins to pull the cam. Do you mean the rockers?
OK.Worth a try. Sometimes they just seize and will never come out.
Do I have to remove the cam to replace the valve seal I did get the head all cleaned and lapped from a mechanic and he installed the seals I gave him but they where chineese so I want to replace them with oem.Worth a try. Sometimes they just seize and will never come out.

OK. Is it possible that the chineese seals could not be sealing even tho there new? There's a bit of oil on the heads of the valves the piston and rings haven't even been broken in yet because of the transmission issue so I don't know if the oil is normal or if the rings just need to be broken.I would to give more room to work around the rockers.
Definitely I wouldn't have used them.OK. Is it possible that the chineese seals could not be sealing even tho there new?

OK. I know chineese are trash I agree I just thought since I have them I would use them but then the thought in my mind of them possibly failing whenever makes me regret putting them in.Definitely I wouldn't have used them.
I just gotta take the parts I need to out then put in the seals correct without lapping or anything.Definitely I wouldn't have used them.
