[QUOTE=JWhen you buy a bearing made of the same materials as the ones that were originally failing, why would you expect different results?[/QUOTE]

I agree, I'm not disappointed in the fact that it failed though, I'm disappointed there's no way to remove it.

Oddly no, I cleaned off the lip just past the bearing and drained all the oil out of the car. Over night oil leaked back out of the bearing and filled that space shown in the photo. Its either oil that was in the bearing or oil that was in the tube and leaked back through the bearing.

QUESTION: Does anyone know what threads are on the revised Pelican IMS bearing shaft? I need to order some parts to make this tool. Thanks


Happy Friday guys
