Remove the head, remove the oil pan, remove the crankshaft, tap out with the haft of a mallet.

Put the nut 2 threads on and tap it with a hammer. If you have bolts put 2 threads on and tap with hammer.

trick to main caps is a rubber mallet, you want the piston that is being removed at bdc, then work the main back and forth then hit the rod directley to get the piston out of the way and rotzate to the next cap


what you are prolly doing is having the main being pulled or yannked by the crank, eaisest spot to remove by far is bdc, it is fine to rotate with less than 4 pistons locked in
