Mechanos 10-02-2002, 11:59 AM Alright, get your minds outta the gutter. To more specific, I'm talking about the rear main bearing cap. Is the bearing cap puller fixture shown in the FSM necessary? or is there a home brew method of removing it that works just as well. I don't want to fuck anything up!!! tsm1mt 10-02-2002, 12:06 PM Originally posted by TORC Alright, get your minds outta the gutter. To more specific, I'm talking about the rear main bearing cap.

Maybe I've done it wrong all the time, but I just use a hammer and a small screwdriver/"pin" into the corners of the cap to block. The ends of the caps have a little wedge cut out of 'em.. I presume for this purpose. ;) Or have I been fawkin' everything up? :D Hooper 10-02-2002, 12:31 PM Originally posted by tsm1mt Maybe I've done it wrong all the time, but I just use a hammer and a small screwdriver/"pin" into the corners of the cap to block.

But I swear the notches were in it when I got it. :D I'm just careful to try and NOT scratch/gouge the block or cap.. but with a cheap screwdriver, it's not that hard to avoid. :D T1H5_TA3 10-02-2002, 01:55 PM my friend Brute Force likes to use a BFH... | |
