Main bearing replacement (there are four main bearings in your V6 engine) is MAJOR work. The engine must be removed from the vehicle and almost completely disassembled to get to the main bearings. If the bearings have 'spun' (likely), the engine will require machining to correct.
Unless you have a LOT of mechanical experience, this is not something a DIYer will be able to do. I'd strongly recommend getting a rebuilt engine and have it installed, if the van is worth keeping. It will probably be cheaper than having yours repaired.

I work for a brake repair shop and trust me you are not alone.Enterprise and alot of other people bought the same van and had the same trouble.I hate to say but it doesnt stop there.About every 14 to 15 thousand miles you have to replace the front pads.As of now they dont have an upgrade,for instance ceramic pads, but I am sure they will very soon

SOURCE: 2007 Chrysler TOWN AND COUNTRY.. OVRHEAD MAP

I had the same problem on my 07 and it turned out to be caused by the bulbs getting too hot and melting the surrounding plastic which opened the circuit powering them. I was able to fix the problem by removing the bulbs and cleaning the sockets allowing the bulbs to seat correctly. The lenses snap off to give you access to the bulbs. If you are not familiar with how interiors of cars come apart, I would not suggest doing it as you may crack the lens.

How to remove and replace main bearing in campshaft.

Firstly get the knocking checked out. Camshaft is more of a sharp rap / knock / clatter.
Why do you think the bearing is at fault. If the cam is knocking then its more than the bearing. It needs stripping and investigating. Before you do anything else get the oil pressure tested with a mechanical gauge. If it's low then you have all sorts of problems. Don't strip or spend anything until a correct diagnosis has been made. You have to establish why its knocking. When was it last serviced? Has it been overheated? Run low on oil? Its 14 years old. How many miles?

On a 2001 town and country can i remove the rear driveshaft and run it only as a fwd?

yes you can
1. Raise the vehicle.
2. Disconnect the drive shaft to the rear differential.
3. If the drive shaft has a carrier bearing, loosen the bolts securing the bearing to the vehicle frame. Support the bearing so the drive shaft does not fall.
4. Disconnect the drive shaft from the power transfer unit on the transmission. It may be necessary to remove a cover to gain access.
5. Remove the drive shaft from the vehicle carefully so you do not hurt yourself.

My 04 Town & Country has a loud Knock in the motor

Why did the engine get hot? Coolant loss? Was the oil level too low before more was added? If it was low, how many quarts should have been added? I believe you have serious engine problems. Too much oil is as bad as too little. What happens when it is overfilled, is the oil 'foams', causing a lack of lubrication of internal components. Oil in a foamy state will not lubricate properly. I believe what you hear is a crankshaft or rod bearing that is now damaged. If I'm correct, you need to replace the engine. Sorry for the bad news.
