http://faq.out-club.ru/download/l200_2006/maintenance/Service_Manual_2009_2013/2011/index_M1.htmLook under 11A - Engine Mechanical.
Are you a mechanic? I'd figure not if you had to ask how to remove a sump. Bearing changes need a bit more knowledge and some specialised tools.
Maybe better to tell your mate to use the money he saved by not servicing the vehicle on an engine rebuilder. There's likely a lot more wrong there than just a bearing.
Thanks for the link a few came up but were for the sohc on google, that link is exactly what i needed. Iam a mech and wanted to know if i had to drop out the front diff and all the other 4x4 goodness as i cant be bother going to that extent just to open it up and find the crank is no good. i hadn't had a chance to look at the car myself.
if it had died a natural cause i wouldn't mind but being 100 percent poor car care which annoys me , the job is a no from me.
i had already recommended a rebuild to him today but he wanted to explore maybe putting bearings in it. also does any one have a recommendation of a good re builder i can suggest to him? we are in the western suburbs of Victoria?
also re reading my first post i worded it poorly.
