Got my block totally stripped down with the exception of the 2 inner main caps and the crank (duh). I'm assuming they're press fit in or something b/c they suck to get out. I got the front and rear off by wobbling them loose then getting some speaker wire below them to pull them out, but the middle two have no room to move at all due to the crank. I've tried using the main bolts to grab the lip inside the holes to get them out (as suggested to me on clubgp), but it hasn't worked for me. I see GM has a pair of J tools that are supposed to be made for this job though although I don't understand how they work.
So my question is, how is everyone getting their main caps off (yes I know the front 3 are 4 bolt mains). Do I need to buy the J tool pair, and if so can I just buy them from a dealership or what? Thanks for the help.
