Question Rod and main Bearings.

Hey, i was planning on pulling the motor out of my jeep so i can replace my rod and main bearings and i was just wondering if i have to send my crank off to be worked on? can i just get by with buying some main and rod bearings and putting them on and call it good? I have access to a auto shop with any tool i can imagine for only a limited time, and i am on a major budget. Any thoughts? thanks!

I think you would have to pull it and mic it to see if it's in spec or not. You can buy over sized bearings if it needs turned.
