[Shotimes] rod bearings

[Kerry Kinion]

OK - I know this is REALLY stupid, but what and where is the idler
bearing and half-shaft?  I'm learning (slow as it may be) one part at a
time!  This might be a big help in getting the pan back on though, as I
had a heck of a time dropping the thing out!!

I'm feeling a little intimidated, but also pretty pumped, looking up
into my engine from the bottom.

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.
