Harry, You FEAR MONGER! How dare you share this information and scare people!

This month is our two yearly IMS Retrofit Clinic here.. We do this in April and October each yard and this year I'd not dare post what we have found.

Being hated for telling the truth has to be a 21st century thing.. Its all supposed to be Unicorns and Rainbows, right?

Thanks for useful information, Harry. And thinks for taking the time to post it in multiple forums. There's a lot of owners out there that may not subscribe to this forum (although they should!).

No it raises the question of what aspects of the LN bearing cause you to say it is the best when compared to other (and potentially cheaper) IMS bearing replacement kits being offered. There are now about 5 solutions being offered with more in development...
The cheaper versions are utilizing a cheaper bearing...

Ask around.. Once you find out "who" developed the Pelican bearing... you'll realize we have two reliable replacements. The rest will be "guesses" as to whether they last or not. I cant take the chance on a "cheaper" version.

Jake, tell me about it. I stayed out of it for a while but so many people just put their head in the sand and assume it doesn't apply to them. So I get bashed a lot,( as I know you and LN Eng do). One of forums took the post off completely saying that another member (supposedly not a sponsor) complained that I was promoting myself with the exact same post. Go figure.
