Removing Connecting Rod Bearing Cap Bolts

I have never had the pleasure, but I am sure OM has done many and The Aussies will soon be on board with their morning coffee ! I have found OM and edb to be very helpful to us novices !

Hi Mark ! Just read that edb is going to be offline for a few days so I hope someone (perhaps SJ) will help !

Hi Team,
hopefully the person before you used the correct Double Headed Split Pins.
I have only ever found the best spot by trial and error depending on the direction of the S/pins. I used to lever the ends or even one end as near to straight as I could with a bar or long screw driver then get a pair of side cutters to grip on the double head and rotate the cutters, pivoting on the nut, as needed to withdraw the pins. If this does'nt work simply just undo the nut and shear the S/pins, the nut will be slightly tighter than finger tight to run off the bolt. As the nut and bolt are fairly hard and the S/pin is soft they shear without damage to the nut and bolt.
Cheers,
Eddie B.

I dismantled a other d6 poney this week for pieces and finally I get
the last cutter pine out with some smashs on my hand but some time it is not easy.
