Title: intermediat shaft bearing in the car
Post by: thomcat on March 08, 2009, 07:43:14 am

I have a gasser with a bad im shaft bearing ( I think ) I need to pull the pan anyway  so can I  get the  bearings in and out with the engine in the car?  I have  a cam bearing instalation tool.  access is my only problem.

There are a couple of guys on here with some homemade tools. Andrew Libby....something I think is one of them. I also think I saved a link for homemade tools I will post if I can find it. The reason I say all of that is that with a standard cam bearing tool in the car I don't know that you will have enough room to get it to go. The homemade version might give you some more room.
