Best Answer

If the bearing has not spun or seized, you drop the oil pan, take the rod cap off of the rod and put the new bearing in. The bearing is in two pieces, half in the rod and half in the rod cap. If the bearing has spun, you should remove the crankshaft and either have the rod journal polished or machined for a thicker bearing.

How do you fix rod bearings?

You cannot fix a rod bearing. Bearings must be replaced. While it is possible to replace a single rod set, a bottom end overhaul might be the way to go.

In addition, if crank shaft journal service is necessary, the machine shop will supply that correct bearing size after machining .
