I just bought impreza WRX and the big end bearings are making a big nocking sound and need to be replaced. As far as i know its not possible, Its an engine out job, because the pistons on the impreza runs from side to side rather than up and down theres no room to get in there without taking the engine out and striping it down.That's what one mechanic has said to me so far.If your look underneath the engine at the sump theres very little room to work, Even a few of the sump nuts are covered by the sub frame. I,m still in the process of hopefuly doing this job myself and I will update this site on my progress.

sorry to be a party pooper but the engine has to come out and believe me they ain't easy to do then.

No. Crank and main bearings can be get at by dropping the oil pan, but to get to the small end rod bearings you've got to get the pistons out.

I don't believe you can because the oil pan on vans are double sump pans and there wouldn't be anyway to get the pan out of the way because of the crossmember.


Can you change the rod bearings without pulling out the motor?

Sometimes it's possible to change the big end bearings by pulling the sump off. But to get to the small end you need to get the pistons out. And if you're pulling the sump, and the head(s) you might as well get the motor out first as it'll probably be faster.

How do you replace the rod bearings for Chevy tohoe 1999?

If you are talking about the crankshaft rod bearings, you can just remove the oil pan, and replace each crank bearing one at a time without actually removing the pistons. But to replace the piston pin rod bearings the pistons will have to be removed. IMO, if any of these bearings are worn bad enough to need replacing, then the engine needs a complete overhaul.


How difficult is it to change 350 main bearings in chassis?

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.
