removing rod caps

Ed McLawhorn Jr. · 06-12-2013, 08:01 PM

I'm in the process of upgrading dad's old super stock motor. I'm at the point of checking rod clearances with new manley rods with the dial pins on caps. I'm not sure how to remove caps without damage. I have tried a dead blow hammer with very little success. Suggestions, best practices for removing caps without doing damage to big end of rod or bearings would be greatly appreciated.
