I pulled counter balanceand on my 1995 400L engine and the inner bearing remained in the crankcase. The book said that I need to seperate the engine to remove it. I wanted to find out if aneyone out there has a way of pulling the inner bearing without seperating the engine.

 

yeah im pretty sure your going to have to split the cse to get it out.why dont you wanna split the case?its pretty simple to do..

 

Rick told me to just leave it is and it should be fine so i did and it was...try searching under counter balance and look for my old posts some people had told me some kind of puller i could use that you could rent from napa..

 

You will need to get a pilot bearing puller to get it out.

 

I was able to pull the inner bearing out with a pilot bearing puller. It was a little stubern but once i added the right amount of heat to it
it popped right off. Thanks for all the great info.
