Needless to say there are many ways. I've looked around for the part number and manufacture of the dual row IMS bearing but haven't found anything.

Ultimately I need some technical specs of the bearing and without being able to take my bearing out to test with (its my DD), I need a data sheet or two. Anybody have any information on it?
