[Shotimes] More Bearing fun

[Donelson Don]

Jim

that can be done too .. rolling the bearings but replacing all bearings it does make a lot easier job.  Doug and I did it on a sho also when he was still in Orlando.

I guess since I have pulled over 20 motors in my day that it is a tad easier for me than most ... 

I would just prefer the motor out of the car .. more personal preference than anything else.

Real question is did u really need the mains replaced ???? I have yet seen a bad main bearing.
