Separating new conrods
On new conrods it is possible that the breaking point is not fully separated. When the conrod bearing cap cannot be removed by hand, proceed as follows:
–  To avoid damage, gently clamp conrod in a vice with protection jaws, as shown in illustration.
l  Clamp conrod below dashed line.
–  Unscrew bolts -arrows- around 5 turns.

–  Using a plastic hammer, carefully knock against conrod bearing cap -arrow- until it is loose.
