[Shotimes] rod bearings

[Ron Porter]

I already had the universal joint, so I was OK. I did not have to loosen the
idler bearing, it comes out (and goes in) fine with it in place.

Suggestion: before putting the gaskets and silicone on the oil pan, do a
couple of "dry runs" to put the pan in place. If you do this, you will find
that you can put an MTX pan on in about a minute (or less), and not screw up
the nice wet silicone bead on the pan.

As I recall on my 90MTX, one or 2 of the oil pan bolts near the transmission
were very difficult to get to.  I had to buy a 1/4" drive universal joint to
get in there.

I loosened the idler bearing for one of the half-shafts but did not remove
it.  This gave me just enough clearance to squirm the pan out.  It was tight
but did come out.
