IMS How to on YouTube ?

Gelbster, Thanks for posting. I'll most likely go with the Ceramic/Hybrid you posted and punch out the center bolt and reuse it. It seems when you source your own bearing without going with the known pricey kits no one wants to sell you the center bolt alone. I like his method of using a pilot bushing puller and just using a magnet for extracting center bolt out of the IMS shaft tube.

Well, Now I might have to rethink this. It seems VXB bearing is the distributor for Boca Bearings, the third one listed of failure. So many bearings out there. Oh boy! Still thanks,

Just for reference purposes (if anyone really cares), you should not reuse the center bolt, and that bearing is not the LN bearing.

If you visit Pedro's site and check his IMSB offerings you will see some choices.They all have the bigger,upgraded bolt.Then call him and ask if he has what you (thjnk) you want.
You can always substitute upgrade/different parts?
