Crankshaft & Main Bearings: Removal
- Main bearings may be replaced with crankshaft installed in engine. Mark main bearing caps to cylinder block before removing caps. Replace one main bearing at a time only.
- Remove main bearing cap and main bearing. Position Main Bearing Remover/Installer (J-8080) in crankshaft oil hole. Bearing must be removed so tang area rotates from cylinder block. Rotate crankshaft and remove upper bearing. This procedure can be used to remove remaining bearings.
