5.0 rear main bearing... is it going out???
#13
Not completely. Pried it forward but not aft. I am out of time this trip so the Bronco will be living in SC for another month until I return on 14 January.

I plan on just replacing the thrust bearing if I do not see additional damage elsewhere. From my understanding, it should be a pretty quick and painless job once the oil pan is off as I can do it with the crank installed.
