Your 2003 should have a single row IMSB. IIRC Raby's biggest difficulty was designing a puller to extract the dual row IMSB, which requires much more force to pull it out.
NOTE: the tool kit also includes the crank and cam locks, and the broken stud extractor tool. This hasn't been mentioned previously. The only suggestion I'd make is that LN could throw in the two bolts that are needed to put the cam locks into place. For the record you need bolts size M8 x 1.25 x 20.
