Remove two capscrews (1) and bearing cap
(2) from main bearings 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 only.
DO NOT remove bearing caps from main
bearings 1 and 7 at this time.
CAUTION
If crankshaft is turned in the wrong direction,
the tab on the upper bearing half will be
pushed between the crankshaft and main
bearing bore in the block. This could cause
damage to the block and the crankshaft.

bearing
removal/installation
tool
(App. C, Fig. C-7) into oil hole in crankshaft
journal for main bearing being removed.
