I breathed a sigh of relief when I learned that the failure rate of the dual row bearing was less than 1%. I'm just going to monitor metal in the oil filter and do nothing until I have to replace the clutch, but even then, if the bearing is still smooth, I may just remove the seal and leave it in there.

But there are plenty of pictures on the net of destroyed dual row bearings that make me cringe.
