Do you mean to change just 1/2 of a main bearing, the one that is easily removeable from the main cap? That's not something you want to do. If you're looking for a way to change the bearings without pulling everything apart there is a special tool made called (believe it or not) a "Sneaky Pete." I know the tool company Lisle makes the tool.

How do you replace the intake manifold gasket on a 1994 Chevy Silverado 350?

You have to take the block off and get to it first...I have a Chevy K1500 Z71 and I had to replace it but I had help.... The block is the lower part of the engine and has nothing to do with the intake gaskets. Go to a parts house or bookstore and buy a Haynes Manual and it will give you everything you need to know.

How do you replace 1996 Saturn s series rod bearings?

If you can get the oil pan off, you can get replace the bearings. Basically, remove the pan and start removing the rod caps (one at a time!!!) once you get it off, you can replace the lower bearing half easy enough. to replace the upper, you will need to slowly rotate the crankshaft at the pulley bolt.as it spins with the cap off, the upper bearing will become loose allowing you to remove it and install new. There is a lot more to it than just replacing the bearings. There is a good chance the rods will be out of round. If they are, you WILL end up spinning one of your new bearings.
