Well I got a little further today. I got the cam locked, oil drained, tensioners removed, and the IMS flange removed. So far the bearing looks great. I can not feel any play in the bolt and it spins rather nicely. I almost don't want to remove it but since it is a single row with 138,000 miles on it, I will be pulling it out. Here is where I am at...
I'll be pulling the bearing when I get more time. I'm just chipping away at this project little by little. I will flush the tensioners in fresh oil before I re-install. Thank you all who responded. I will also try cranking the engine to build oil pressure in them as well after it is all back together.
