I did mine last November with the engine in situ.  The rod bearings
were quite straight forward.  It's recommended to replace the bolts
as well, BTW.

I also did the mains.  This was more difficult as a tool of some kind
is needed to slide out the upper shells.  I used a polished strip of
spring copper.  Don't forget to have a look at thrustwashers while
you're in there.
