Remove the intake manifold, remove the rocker arm of the lifter you want to replace, remove the pushrod, and replace the lifter.

Based on what you stated it sounds more like a stuck exhaust valve, one stuck part or all the way open, more then say a stuck lifter. Not to say a lifter couldn't be holding one open, just its no where near as likely a condition to happen.
