Subject:Re: how to get top half of main bearing out
From:Steve Cotsford

Take a fairly small split cotter pin and put it into the oil hole of the
particular journal.
Rotate the crankshaft in the direction that pushes the retaining tab first
and Voila! the shell bearing will come right out clean as a whistle.
Thats an old trick.
