Re:removing the crankshaft

might wanna see what else the spun bearings messed up before buying this thing. as for tips: loosen the bolts, remove the crank. make sure you get all new seals and clean the ---- outta everything, and get the proper bearings

Re:removing the crankshaft

Obviously the main caps have to come off, oil pump and rear main seal cover. As GT said, replace both your front and rear main seals when re-installing.

Re:removing the crankshaft

If your gonna be replacing all that ---- anyway, the crank is gonna be just one of the things that come off. Just save and mark all the bolts. lol
