F7 oil pump drive bearings HELP!

[dkrevs]

Hi!

What's the best way to get these out? And how correctly drive in new ones?

Hi David, what was wrong with it bud?

Hi David, what was wrong with it bud?
Nothing, I mean everything. :lol: I'm rebuilding the block which has spun the big end bearing(this was fatal for it), so the engine had a oil with metal filings which aren't a good thing. I sourced new bearings and I'll replace these. Got a useful answer on C16V:

slide hammer with hooked end to remove them. I get them pressed in by my machinist

There is a special tool for pisitioning these bearings. IIRC I have the dimensions of this tool.

Of topic a bit dude but can you tell me if your engine just broke all of a sudden or did you have a rattling noise for a while at around 3000rpm? I ask because iv got a problem with mine and am just trying to identify the problem :)
