[Fot] Rod bearings

[Bill Babcock]

Probably just oil sucking the bearing against the journal. Back all  
the nuts off as Tony says--a couple of turns, then rotate the crank a  
turn or two. some will come loose just by turning. take the rod you  
want to remove to bottom dead center and whack the nuts with a rubber  
mallet. You can whale on them, wont hurt anything .
