Removing a crankshaft without removing the engine can be a complex job. Here you go:
1. Disconnect the battery.
2. Remove the engine cover.
3. Scrupulously clean the area around the crankcase to avoid introducing dirt into the engine when the crankshaft is removed.
4. Remove all the belts and pulleys attached to the crankshaft.
5. Drain the oil from the engine. The drain plug is usually located at the bottom of the engine oil pan. Then remove the oil pan.
6. After removing the oil, you can then remove the oil pump if it's in your way.
7. Remove the connecting rod caps from the crankshaft. When removing connecting rod caps, ensure they are kept in the correct order so they can be put back on the same journal they came from.
8. Dislodge the pistons from the crankshaft by tapping them lightly with a wooden handle of a hammer. This disconnects the pistons from the crankshaft, allowing you to remove the crankshaft.
9. Remove the main bearing caps. As with the connecting rod caps, keep them in the correct order.
10. Finally, lift the crankshaft out of the engine block. You might need help for this as crankshafts are heavy.
Remember to always refer to your vehicle's specific repair manual for exact instructions because different manufacturers may have slightly different methods of removing the crankshaft.
Always mark the positions of pieces and photograph the process for reference while reassembling.
Safety first! Always wear eye protection and any other safety gear recommended by the manufacturer.
Please note, without engine removal, you may not be able to access all parts properly. This might cause problems and end up being more complicated.
