Illustration 1 g00610269
Inspect the connecting rod and connecting rod cap (2) for the proper identification mark. The connecting rod and connecting rod cap (2) should have an etched number on the side that is toward the right side of the engine. The number should match the cylinder number. Mark the connecting rod and connecting rod cap (2), if necessary.
Illustration 2 g00610272
Remove connecting rod cap nuts (1), bolts (5), and connecting rod cap (2) .
Remove the lower half of bearing (4) from connecting rod cap (2) .
