Not an LN, but since I only drive ~1500 miles/year, it seems like cheap insurance, even if it is a maintenance item down the road. I'm a capable DIY'er but admit the replacement process makes me a little nervous in getting it right. Going to do an inspection and if a double row is in there I may choose to leave it alone if the seal looks good and the bearing freewheels nicely. I'll have the replacement in hand to make the call when I get in there...

Anyone have any tips on how not to screw up the install of the IMS? I'll be following the Tech Article, but advice is always helpful!

My advice is do not follow Pelican's Tech article. Use LNE's method. There are several threads where Pelican's method has caused a lot of grief.
