Is there some trick to removing a balance shaft bearing? Chiltons mentions a machine shop doing it. Why is that? If I can't get it out, does anyone have an extra balance shaft I can throw in to plug the hole?

They're hard to get out without messing up the bearing surface... most likely why they reccomend the machine shop doing it. black92 has the right idea. If you still can't get them out, I've got a couple spare shafts. I've come to the conclusion that I'd rather leave the front one in, as I've heard that it can raise the oil pressure too much by blocking it totally off. -------------------- The fastest car I own is a minivan....
