My IMS bearing replacement thread. |
Good thread. That certainly looks like the stock dual row IMS and is NSK which happens to be the bearing that I removed. I suppose you will just us your internal spring clip/retainer from your old bearing. I was told by the place in Germany that they use two people to install this bearing. One to work two small screw drivers to compress the spring , while the other person slowly taps the bearing in. He mentioned he knew of someone that 3d printed a tool that would compress the spring while installing it. The third option would be to purchase the LN tool that is made for installing this kind of bearing. The third option would require deep pockets as it is not cheap.
