I am a fan of the seal removal & splash oil feed lubrication strategy - as you have adopted for the replacement, I would like to copy this idea on my build.

I’ve removed three IMS bearings from my car over the last 7 years (two upgraded units) all had seals. The seals on every bearing I’ve pulled had failed and the bearings were full of oil. Removing the seal seems like a good idea. (And no there isn’t a reason to replace them this much, it’s always been a “while you’re in there” thing).
