Default can i put bearings in without removing engine?

looks like I may have spun a bearing. Im assuming a rod bearing. Iwas wondering if its possible to put them in without removing the engine and how? can I just lift the motor slightly or is there some other trick.

You are going to want to take it out and put it on a stand. There is a certain level of precision that you will want to have when installing vitals of the engine.

If you "spun" a rod bearing, then that rod will need to be replaced/resized. Just changing out the bearing will not fix your issue.
