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.
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.
no, the crankshaft has to be removed to get to the bearings therefor removing the pullies, fan belts, timing belt, sump, main studs etc etc, if you are considering upgrading internal bearings i recommend doing a total rebuild, eg - arp head studs and main studs, eagle rods, forged or billet items inc pistons, rods, bolts, bearings, boring if needed and nitriting the crank along with the block for strengthening, no point in pulling a engine down just to change 2 bearings, may as well spend the time wisey and upgrade everything else at the same time. more money yes, but a small price to pay for 4 times the power and 10 times the strength and reliability :-)
To change the rear wheel bearings on a 1995 Vandura 2500, start by safely lifting the rear of the vehicle and removing the wheel. Next, detach the brake drum by removing the retaining screws and gently pulling it off. Once the drum is off, remove the axle nut and pull the axle shaft out to access the wheel bearings. Replace the old bearings with new ones, reassemble the axle, and ensure everything is securely tightened before putting the wheel back on.
Yes, it is possible to change the crankshaft bearings on a 4.3 Vortec engine without pulling the engine, but it can be a challenging task. You would need to remove the oil pan and potentially the main caps to access the bearings. Ensure that you have the right tools and follow proper procedures to avoid damaging the engine components. However, this method may not provide as much access as removing the engine, so consider your comfort level and the condition of the engine before proceeding.
To replace the front wheel bearings on a 2003 Kia Rio, start by safely lifting the vehicle and removing the front wheel. Then, detach the brake caliper and rotor to access the hub assembly. Remove the hub assembly by unbolting it from the steering knuckle and pulling it out. Finally, press out the old bearings and press in the new ones before reassembling all components in reverse order.
A bearing puller is used for pulling out bearings and gears. Different sizes of bearing puller can be used to remove bearings from simple things to very large pieces of machinery.
Yes, you do not have to remove the engine.
Shogun bicycle? If so headset bearings probably are bad or the brakes are dragging.
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.
To replace the wheel bearings in a 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue, start by safely lifting the vehicle and removing the wheel. Next, detach the brake caliper and rotor to access the hub assembly. Remove the hub assembly by unbolting it and carefully pulling it off the spindle. Finally, install the new wheel bearing by reversing the process, ensuring everything is torqued to spec and properly aligned.
I think that someone is pulling your leg. There is no such thing as 'blinker fluid'. Sure, it's right next to the muffler bearings :)
No, you are going to turn the engine when you set valve lash anyway. It only helps to have no 1 at tdc if you are pulling distributor & is not needed for that.
