Aux shaft and distro gears keep killing each other, from reading other posts here and other places I see I should replace the the aux shaft bearings but all I can I find is that they "come out easily". I could probably get the outer one out with a puller just fine but what about the inner one? I plan on ordering the Esslinger aux shaft and gear but I want to make sure I can actually get the bearings replaced properly first.
 
I've never changed one so I don't know from personal experience but they're pretty much like cam bearings so would take a similar process... I imagine there's some youtube videos about cam bearings on random engines (pretty much anything, V6, V8, whatever). If you're trying to do it in chassis it's going to be a process of at least removing the grille and radiator to get access from the front...
