The present invention provides a rocker arm with a lash adjuster which includes a rocker arm body portion including a circular fitting hole, a large-diameter hole, and a step portion at a boundary between the fitting hole and the large-diameter hole; a lash adjuster having a snap ring groove formed on an outer circumferential surface of the lash adjuster, and a snap ring fitted to the snap ring groove, wherein the lash adjuster is inserted in the fitting hole, the snap ring increases in diameter, hooks on the step portion, and prevents the lash adjuster from slipping off; and a diameter-reducing member that is assembled in the rocker arm body portion and that reduces the diameter of the snap ring by operation of the diameter-reducing member from an outside of the rocker arm body portion until the snap ring is not engaged with the step portion.
