Can the outer intermediate shaft bearing (the one nearest to the pulley) be replaced with the engine in the vehicle??
Reading around I somehow got the idea that this might be possible.
Comments????

Re: Outer Intermediate Shaft Bearing Replacement Engine In Vehicle
Ja, I recall reading it can be done.
I've only done them with the engine out, but they weren't that tough... you might need to lift/drop the engine enough to clear, but still might be easier than a full motorectomy.

Re: Outer Intermediate Shaft Bearing Replacement Engine In Vehicle
You might not have to pull the whole engine out but you will have to drop the engine down far enough that you can slide the I-shaft out.
It's long and will hit the frame if you try with the engine in and you can't change them with the shaft in.

So, do the bearings come out with the shaft?
The inner must come out with the shaft. How about the one near the pulley???

No the bearing don't fall out.
They are actually bushings like cam bearings on the old V8's. Pressed into the block.
The one near the pully comes out (actually in) pretty easy.
I have a round rod, ground like a chisel. I put a rag through the bearing then tap around the bearing until it falls in.
The rag keeps it from going far.
Turn it sideways and yank it out.
