It is very easy to change out thrust washers from under the car. Half of
both thrust washers come out when removing the center main bearing cap. You ca
n
normally rotate the new upper half of the thrust washer into the grove while
the old thrust washer rotates out.
I would be surprised if you get both of the 0.005" thrust washers in. I have
used one oversize thrust washer and one stock size thrust washer to reduce
end play. At one time, I believe that you could buy 0.003" and 0.004" size
thrust washers.
