Do i have to press the bearings into the block? MY friend told me that the rear silent shaft bearing has to be pressed into the block! The reason i ask is because when i go my oil pan off, the silent shaft bearing was in the bottom. Thanks, matt

You can't just cut the old rear one and grind it smooth, you also have to fill the hole in it somehow, usually by tapping it and putting a bolt in it. You can just leave the front shaft in place and pull the belt if you want, but if the engine is out of the car you might as well pull it too. If you plan on leaving the front shaft in, there's not much reason to buy a kit unless you don't feel comfortable cutting and tapping the rear shaft.
I bought the kit mainly because I knew I'd probably destroy the front bearings trying to get them out to rotate them. Sure enough, the rear bearing of the front shaft fell into two pieces with just a light tap. The stock balance shaft bearings are really fragile. -------------------- Eric Wort
