4D55 Silent shafts #1106217 04/15/21 05:46 AM

I have a low mileage Dodge D50 where there was a whining coming from the engine. I removed the silent shaft belt and the whining was gone. The tensioner bearing is good. I suspect that one of the silent shaft bearings is bad. Does anyone have counsel as to replacing these bearings? It looks tough to me.

The engine still runs well but is noticeably rougher than before. Thanks for any help.

Paul

How do the shafts feel when you spin them by hand?
The bearings are sleeves that are drawn in place with specific tooling.
