morning folks

need some advice please    to loosen/tighten rod bolts is it advisable to support the rods in some way?

i'm thinking take up side play with a couple of sets of feeler guages to limit twisting!

thanks in advance

Break 'em loose and back 'em off, it's not rocket surgery. Wink

Just break all four bolts loose on the same journal before taking either of the rods out.  That will limit how far they can move.
