BTDT. Try wiggling while pulling down. If you resort to tapping it (and
tap the cap,
not the crank), make sure that you carefully note how it goes back because
when
it comes loose, it may fall all the way off onto the floor.
Best!

Sounds like nary but the oil film holding it in place. And that oil
film can have quite a tenacious grip!
A little bit of careful prying and or tapping will most likely break
the grip, and then the cap will come off.

Problem: I can't seem to get the rearmost big end bearing cap off. I
can wiggle
it forwards & backwards a tiny bit, but it won't budge in any other
direction.
Looking at the diagrams and such, I don't see how this is possible.
Should
I tap gently on the crankshaft a bit rearword? It seems from the tiny
view
I have, thrust bearings are in there.
