    i fit the caps so you do not need a spliter if you can not get them off. its the shoulder on the new bolts i file out the holes in the cap till its a good fit with out a stick of T&T to get them apart .heat will not work and you do not what to do that . give them back and let him fix his screw up he recond you rods ? if so he should of knew better . if you tap the bolts back out they will come apart but there a good chance you could screw the threads use a old nut thread it on and tap the bolts down but then the rods still need to be fix .i recon alot of rods fitting the bolts is part of the job
