I'm just completing a DYI IMS bearing replacement myself with Charles' LN kit, hope to turn the key tomorrow or Sat. My '02 S is a single row bearing setup which made replacement straightforward with the tools from LN. Clutch disk and CV boots done at the same time 23.2K miles, two hard DE days, I'm 3rd owner. No play in shaft was found but edge bits of the seal were missing.
From Pelican Part Tech site:
Boxster Double Row:
Engine Number up to 651 12851 (M96.22)

Engine Number from 671 11238 (M96.21)
996 Double Row:
Engine Number up to 661 14164
996 Single Row:

I've heard from Jake this may not be 100% accurate so I pulled my trans before ordering a kit. PM me if you want more info as I just did this over the past month.
