Not to contradict you, but last I heard, Jake wasn't limiting sales of the retrofit bearing in any way. Maybe with the economic downturn, he's trying to keep more work in-house? They can also be bought thru LN Engineering, and the tools (puller) can even be rented.

There's no reason a competent mechanic couldn't do the retrofit, there are at least several people who have already done so. If you want to see exactly what's involed, and judge for yourself, check out the Pelicanparts.com forum . In the "Tech info center" they have a very detailed pictoral of a complete engine tear-down, which shows the bearing replacement steps, as does LN's website.

I would do it on my own car, but I have an '06 so I can't! I'm not sure if that is a good thing, or a bad thing ?
