[Vwdiesel] Main and Rod Bearings?

[mikitka]

You can change the intermediate bearings out with it in the vehicle. You
just have to take the engine mounts loose, and lower it just enough so that
the I shaft will clear the body. You then can see the last bearing through
where the vacuum pump goes. I have not done it this way but have read about
others on the GTD forum that have.

Thanks Loren.  Can you change the intermediate shaft bearings if you don't 
remove the engine from the truck?
