kenneycj Wrench Fetcher K Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 105 Ohio	Hi everyone, I am looking for opinions on how difficult it is for a novice with basic tools and the sevice manual to remove some shims from a noisy rod bearing. 1951 216 engine. Thinking about making this a winter project but I am really nervous as I have never done anything like this before. Thanks for your thoughts!
