It really wasn't THAT hard, just takes time. You have to remove the oil pan and the aluminum plate above that, that the oil pan bolts to. In order to remove the aluminum plate, you must remove the transmission and flywheel to get to the last two bolts. AK!!! Once you get the plate off, the rods are right there. Use the hex socket to remove the cap off of the end of the rod and remove the old bearings. Inspect the crank shaft for damage (mine had none) put the new bearings in with grease and put the caps back down on the rods (torque spec) Use red hi temp gasket seal to seal the plate and oil pan. Button everything back. Viola. Don't run it hard for the next 6-7 hundred miles. Done.
I noticed mine were bad because I heard them ticking at about 2500-300 rpms.
FYI, Don't use anything hard like a screwdriver or chisel to pry the oil pan or plate above off. The oil pan has a little screw hole that you screw one of the bolts you take off of the pan into to pop it off from the plate. Any more questions, I'll be glad to assist.
