Main Bearing Cap Removal
[211 JA]
Before removing the main bearing caps, ensure
that they are marked for reinstallation on the
same journals. Keep the bearings with the same
cap and tag, or mark them to identify the
respective cap.
Refer to Figure 184.
1. Remove the eight buttress capscrews.
2. Remove the capscrews from each of the
seven main bearing caps. The center main
bearing cap houses the thrust washers.
3. Position a lady-foot pry bar under the tabs
provided on the bearing caps and pry the
caps upward. To work them loose, it may be
necessary to tap the bearing caps,
alternately from side to side, with a soft
mallet.
