That doesn't seem very nice of them. I hope that **** rail serves some other purpose other than making something normally easy, harder. Looks like to look at number 3 you need to at least remove that GD. I like the cordless drill for running out a bunch of nuts/bolts. (never go IN without a clutch).

Wonder, can you see that #3 is different?

Best I could come up with, getting dark out so holding the light was difficult lol..

looks like the back side of the thrust beariongs gone nice camera by the way the main caps have number in the the third one back has a three cast in it pull the cap the back part of the bearing not there...

ducter

yup, I just noticed that after you said it. I had my son under the jeep with me and he was videoing while I was holding the light...if you notice he got the thrust bearing several times not meaning to, that made it clearer watching it.

Now...can that be replaced where its at or...

thanks

atta boy pull the cap off

ducter

Alright, this may not be as bad as I thought. Pull the cap, slide new top in place pushing the old out then put bottom on, cap and bolt it all back up...not sure how to set them but that should come..or am I missing some steps?

freegdr

looking at this picture there a indentation on the right side that locks the bearing from spinning with the crank you will need to push on the other side to see if it will spin out from the block you may have to loosen all the othe mains but its worth a try...do not screatch the crank ...

freegdr

close not that simple see if it comes out fisrt

ducter

alright, I will have to see if I can find one local, or if I need to order them. Thank you.

they come in different sizes/ thickness also ...should be stamped on the back might hav to get a whole set .std,10,20,30, some thing like that

DFlintstone

It's just a tad harder than Legos. You might find is surprisingly unforgiving, but, yea. Once the top one is rotated all the way around so it's on the bottom, mostly just the oil is sticking it on. You will want a new (two piece) rear main seal also.

ducter

What I read was if they are not stock it should have the size stamped on it, correct?

ducter

What would be the reason for a new rear main? Not that I am questioning you, just curious as to why. Replace the oil pump as well right?

freegdr

napa auto parts carrys all the sizes

freegdr

it will have some thing on the back side even if its stock
