I believe you can do that. However, I am wondering about the other bearings. There is 2 others one on the Timer and one on the Fuel Injection pump end of the Intermediate Shaft.
I am probably going to pull the Injection pump to take a look at that rear bearing.
However, I have no idea about the availability of the other 2 bearings. Also the CD Manual does not have bearing clearances. I have one but have not looked yet I am wondering if the technical manual has the actual clearances/wear limits.
Note the CD Manual has that the rear intermediate shaft bushing is supposed to be dipped on liquid nitrogen and then installed. That won't be happening I I change it.
I am doing extra stuff like changing the timing chain main rail and that Intermediate Shaft Front Bushing along with removing the Cylinder head.
I am getting bogged down by little things. The upper impinging chain guide has a pin that needs to be pulled out of the cylinder head. My initial attempts today failed. Will try again tomorrow.
