Car Forum / Chrysler Cars / February 20053.5L Crankshaft Removal
The crankshaft in my 94 Intrepid needs to be removed because of a spun con rod bearing. Is it possible to remove the crank without removing the engine from the vehicle? Remove the engine, are the heads coming off too? did it ruin one of the rods when it spun? > The crankshaft in my 94 Intrepid needs to be removed because of a spun > con rod bearing.

I was just wondering if the crank could be removed without removing the engine since the work is being done by a local garage and of course time is money. The mechanic says the engine does have to be removed but then again he said my Chrysler 4-speed auto needed Dexron and not ATF +3. > The rod will also be replaced.

My opinion only Glenn Beasley Chrysler Tech i would do it so i could do all of them including mains and a valve job whil;e it was apart spend a little now or a lot later > > The rod will also be replaced.

I can't think of any way to remove the torque convertor drive plate from the crank without pulling the engine that isn't more trouble than pulling the engine. Pull the engine. For the amount of work that will likely have to be done (probably needs a new connecting rod and therefore a re-balance), its the only way to go. that would be way m,ore work than removing the engine and then you could be sure it was done correctly > The crankshaft in my 94 Intrepid needs to be removed because of a spun > con rod bearing.
