The Push rod goes through the head in a very small opening (smaller than the lifter) to operate the Rocker arm and in turn open the valve per the cam lobe.

I am not aware of a way to pull a lifter out through the head on an OHV motor but maybe I'm wrong.
You're probably right, maybe they just saw the lifter broken and came to that conclusion? Like I said before there is a part on back order something to do with the fuel line or something and isn't repair completely yet. I'm going to give a call later and see what's going on with that back ordered part.
