Default Can I just replace one rod bearing?

I was wondering if it was possible to only replace one rod bearing. All my bearings looked good except for one that has slight wear. I was going to replace all of them since I was there but the brown is back ordered for 2 weeks. If I have to, I will wait but if I can just replace the one that doesn't look 100% I'll be back on the road alot faster.

Thanks

you can definitely replace just one bearing, but it's likely that you'll re-spin it again if you don't at least replace that rod.

generally people say that the crank will be scarred from the heat and should also be replaced, but i guess everyone's carnage/aftermath is a little different....

I didn't spin a bearing yet but I was in the middle of replacing my rings and noticed that some of my bearing have darker areas is the best I can do to explain. It's like some of it has a film still on it and some areas don't. I thought I would replace them before I spun one.

Thanks
