I have a 93 galant, I've done about every repair possible on it, the oil light started comming on only when it idles,so replacing oilpump assembly notice loose balanceshafts/driveshafts. I removed them for inspection and found the bearing are just about ate up and shafts are damaged as well,but the damage was mainly at the rear of each shaft. The problem now is how to install new bearing at the rear?, front ones easy, I have all new parts and don't want to screw it up.ANY INFO WOULD HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS

I believe your talking abt the balance shafts, post some pics of the bearings. Is there a lot of metal in the pan? You might have to pull the eng out to get to the rear bearings, they can be a pain to get to.

Thanks for reply, no metal in pan, far as I can tell no signs of rear b.s.bearings visiable,front ones I can see the lip but the rear can't see bearing lip at all. Will post pic of old b.s.and of inside of block.
