The procedure and RIMSEXT_01 extractor tools were both developed before the first IMSR bearings were commercially released to the market.

Yes, Jake that is how / what I have in my car....it is the LN bearing and the LN tooling used. I appreciate the development.

......correct or not I do recall gingerly waiting it out until the dual row kit was available as my model year could have had either. It was early on and one could drop the trans. and be out of luck if a shallow dish flange was staring at you.

No LN kits were sold until my retrofit procedure was adopted for the dual row.
Prior to this the only IMS component sold was the triple row fitted shaft assembly, requiring engine disassembly for fitment.

The very first LN IMS component was a quadruple bearing fitted shaft assembly, I built the first engine to ever be fitted with an LN bearing, using that shaft. It's still alive.
