I assume you mean to ask how difficult it is to change the main bearings WITHOUT pulling the engine out of the vehicle.
Don't bother.
To properly replace the main bearings you need to pull the crankshaft away from the engine far enough to be able to put a micrometer on the bearing surfaces of the crankshaft. To do that you need to disconnect the crankshaft from the transmission AND pull the pistons part way out. Also, depending on the type of seal used, many rear main seals must be replaced by pressing them into place after the crankshaft is in.
Don't even try to replace bearings without first verifying the status of the crankshaft. It must be round and within tolerance. If the old bearings have worn there isn't much chance that the crankshaft hasn't been affected.
Yes but it will be a little difficult because you have to take your piston rod caps off and take your main bearing caps off & romove the top half of your main bearings & lube the new bearings so you can snake them back in place.
When you change rotor or main ball joint, or when they get worn.
If you can squeeze the oil pan out you can change the mains.
The main bearings are what supports the crankshaft. The rod bearings go on the rod that the pistions are hooked to. Rod bearings are smaller then the main bearings on all engines.
Main bearings
Cam bearings, Main bearings, Rod bearings.
Main bearings and connecting rod bearings.
You can use main bearings on a 1995 Chevy S10. The bearings can be purchased at most auto parts stores.
Wheel bearings, main bearings, connecting rod bearings, cam bearings, axle bearings, carrier bearings, pinion bearings and so on, need to be more specific.
There is no such thing as outer main bearings. The main bearings go inside of the main caps that hold the crankshaft in the bottom of the engine. To get to the mains you will have to remove the oil pan.
Depends on the vehicle and which bearings. Wheel bearings, not so expensive. Main bearings inside the engine, expensive.
The main bearings support the crankshaft.
