I am going to upgrade my con rod bolts to ARP's but want to know how to properly remove the old ones...I loosened one and gave it a good rap with a hammer and it didn't move ...I didn't want to get to aggresive and do any damage so I thought I'd check with the forum first. Thank you.

They are a press fit. A press is better than whacking with a hammer. Just let the machine shop do it since you will want to get the big end resized anyway after changing bolts.

I have to ask, have you figured up the total cost for resizing, ARP bolts, and installing them (i.e., the labor the shop will charge to do everything) vs. a set of aftermarket rods? In some areas it sounds like the new H beam rods are barely more than getting stockers redone.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
