Well, the bearing is replaced. First of all the guy who did it, Ralph at Ralph's auto service in Owings Mills, MD said the people at LNengineer were the nicest an most helpful people he has ever dealt with.
He said the procedure went very well. And now for the drum roll. He said the bear looked fine (double row) and turned smooth. He agreed it was better to find it in good shape than in some other condition. While in there he replace the RMS and since the clutch was 2/3 spent I had him replace it also.
I'm overall glad I had it done. So, I'm good to go. I now plan to drive this thing as a good weather daily driver and enjoy.
