You could puncture the one remaining inner seal? That would prevent pressure accumulating while the engine was running. If the puncture was submerged when the engine stopped ......
The there is the Vertex 'technique' at the other end of the IMS tube that involves a hammer and punch .Perhaps not.
It's quite easy (once the cases are split apart!). I've a few YouTubes on how to do it. The trick is to make sure there is never a differential pressure across the IMS bearing that serves to drive out the grease (gasp!!) in the bearing. I'll be pulling out my IMSB in the not too distant future to inspect the grease in it after doing the procedure (about 20K miles). Yeah, this is a hobby.
