When the bearing and tools arrived, with the instructions, the removal tool was different than the tool in the instructions so he called LN to clarify what should be done. My OEM IMS was returned to LN, as they asked, but they claim they have no record of it and I haven't pursued the matter. Also there was no LN sticker, that indicates the bearing was changed, in the kit. It sounds like LN has refined their system since then but he had worked on my car for a couple of years and I was confident he was a capable mechanic. He is now on the approved LN list and has done many IMS retrofits from LN. With 34K on my LN bearing I'm feeling confident the procedure was done correctly.

I'm hoping my mechanic is as capable as yours!! I plan to stay with him and see everything that he's doing when he does the job. Although I'm no expert,I still believe you could tell if the guy knows what he's doing or not. Some mechanics specifically tell you that you wont be allowed to stay in their garage whilst they're working on your car,but I always stay next to him when he's doing a big job on my cars and he doesn't mind,so I'm hoping that if we both go through the instructions carefully together, the job will be done right, fingers crossed!!
