Jerry,

The big end bearings are roller type (either caged or loose)and you will need to split the crankshaft as well replace the crank pin.

You will need a dial gauge etc to set up the crankshaft after you reassemble it.

This information on how to do it can be found in the parts list and manuals area.

Regards,

Bruce
