So, just to update where I am at...
Old bearing removed and new bearing installed. The LN tool was amazing at extracting the bearing. Came out very smooth with little effort. The install was a little nerve racking but I managed to get it done and the new clip installed. I just need to put the cover on and begin re-assembly. I still need to clean up the ims cover and put a new seal on it, but after that cover is back on and the chain tensioners are re-installed, I will feel a lot better. Then the next step is the RMS. I brought the new seal with me to Home Depot and matched it up with a 3 inch pvc coupling. It fit over the seal very nicely.
As a side note, the bearing that came out of the engine felt great and no sloppiness to it. It did look like however that some grease was on the outside of the seal. There was almost no oil in the ims but I removed what was there with a shop vac.
