Yes, it is possible to change a crank bearing with the crank still in place. You gotta loosen all main cap bolts and remove the one for the bearing in question. Then "roll" out the top portion of the bearing. I am not sure why you are doing this but I am guessing the engine is probaly not gonna live much longer.

If you can get the pan off, you can replace the crank bearings. I would never take such a short cut unless it was an emergency...

If the bearing in question came apart better just tear her down and save yourself some pain down the road....and not far down the road. Bearing less rods tend to eat a lot

whatever one is trying to tell you is that if one is needing replaced then the others surely do too........ and the rod and cam bearings.........as well as half dozen other items...might as well leave it broke
