Conrod end cap removal

Postby and1 » Sat Nov 16, 2013 3:46 pm

Hey guys having difficulty removing the conrod cap on my manley rods. Torqued them up to check for clearance with some plastigauge and now I can't budge them to check.

Didn't have too much issue with my stock rods.

I've been rocking them side to side to try to loosen them as well as some blows with a rubber mallet. No luck so far..

Any tips?

You just have to whack them harder with your mallet.

One side, then the other.
