Hi Mel,
Yes - You can replace the single pedestal.
What hasn't been mentioned, to prevent stripping in the first place;
A major cause of the pedestal stripping is not having the pedestal hole
& rocker shaft hole PERFECTLY aligned. The bolt catches on the side of
the rocker arm hole & binds before the bolt is completely drawn down
into place & the aluminum strips.
Install the feed pedestal first, very carefully align the feed hole with
the rocker shaft hole & screw in the banjo bolt. Then install the rest
of the parts on the shaft. When the shaft assembly is firmly bolted
into place, remove the banjo bolt & attach the feed fitting.
