1. Remove the two main bearing case screws 1 (4), and remove
the main bearing case assembly 1 (1), being careful with
crankshaft bearing 3 (5).
2. Remove the main bearing case assembly 2 (2) and the main
bearing case assembly (3) as above. Keep in mind, however,

assembly (3).
(When reassembling)
• Clean the oil passage in the main bearing cases.
• Apply clean engine oil to the bearings.
• Install the main bearing case assemblies in original positions.
Since diameters of main bearing cases vary, install them in

D782-E4B) from the gear case side. (Refer to the figure.)
• Match the alignment numbers (a) on the main bearing case
assembly 1 (1).
• Do the same for the main bearing case assembly 2 (2) and the
main bearing case assembly (3) too.
• When installing the main bearing case 1 and 2, face the mark
"FLYWHEEL" to the flywheel.
• Install the thrust bearing (7) with its oil groove facing outward.
• Confirm that the main bearing case moves smoothly after
tightening the main bearing case screw 1 to the specified
