4G63 Balance Shaft Removal Q?

[Five*Star*]

Sorry for the late reply, but you won't be able to pull the balance shafts with the engine in the car (well, there may be a way by dropping the motor mount and all, but it would be hard to do that way).

You really need to pull the oil pan and have room to slide the shafts out, etc.

It is best to pull the engine (seems it would be impossible or near impossible with the engine in). It is too much labor to worry about trying it with the engine in. You have to remove all the timing components, the front cover (from the block), the oil pan, the oil pick-up, the oil pump housing, remove the balance shaft bearings and re-install new ones, etc.


If you need this job done, I can do it for you. LMK

Ok so far I have gotten the both shafts out of the car; I did it with the motor still in car. I had to cut the front shaft with a saw as I could only pull it out half way (not the difficult). Basically I have have finally gotten all the parts I need to put everything together again but I ran into a problem when I was attempting the insert the new bearings and the rear one started coming apart on me while I was installing it. I wasn't too sure how I was suppose to install it and obviously I did something wrong....so my question is, how do you insert a bearing?
