The invention relates to a method for breaking separation of at least one bearing cap (2) of a corresponding thrust block (4) in the bearing assembly (6) of engine cases provided with bearing bores (8) which are arranged in- line, in particular crankshaft cases for alternative piston engines. The inventive method consists in introducing an extension mandrel (10) comprisin g two half-mandrels (12, 14) into at least one bearing hole (8), said half- mandrels being distant from each other in order to produce breaking separati on force between the thrust block (4) and the bearing cap (2). Said invention i s characterised in that the bearing cap (2) is clamped in such a way that it i s non-rotatable except in a limited manner in the direction of breaking separation between a corresponding half-mandrel (12) and a fixing device (22 ). |
