How do you remove it. I have two cranks and between them I can make one good one if I can swap connecting rod and bearing. This is the later model. The crank lobes are stamped 76 and 77. Not sure if those are the years.

Thanks. Jason
 
Just press the big end pin out, marking the position of the throws/lobes & depth in first.

After re-assembly, adjust the runout with dial indicators in V blocks, using a big brass hammer. Target should be less than 0.003”.

Not sure I’ve ever seen just an 051 big end bearing part number listed, but sounds like you've got enough junk parts there anyway.
