I am going to be replacing my Clutch, flywheel, motor mount, o2 sensors and installing the LN IMS retrofit kit next week.

I have read a few DIY on the IMS bearing and was wondering if it is crucial that I get the CAM lock tools and lock it while I am replacing the bearing???

Some DIY say too do it and others do not mention locking the cams... just wondering if it can be done safely/easily without locking them?

thanks guys!
