IMS bearing install

[Jager]

I believe there were two types of clips, one that is obvious like mine was, pictured here:


The other not as obvious that you just pull the bearing out with the removal tool and the clip will break loose. I will see if I can locate the information on this type clip.

See the paragraph that lists "Figure 86, 87, & 88" the last sentence in that paragraph says some of the double row bearings have an internal snap ring that will snap-out when you pull-out the bearing.

Looks like you have a double row bearing Assembly.

Also look at the same article posted by jäger, for the 2 two types of IMS covers. (figures 14&15)
Deep cover= single row, shalow cover= double row.
You can also compare the part number on the covers.
