Dropped the flywheel. Well, removed. The rear main is definitely leaking. It will be changed. Confirmed a dual row. I am going to put in the LN Retrofit.

I had a little trouble lining up the cam lock. Made a second one. I locked down both cams even though I have a five chain motor. I marked the locations of the cams. Then pulled the three chain tensioners. I was able to remove the one under the air conditioned without removing anything. I have a tool set for installing timing belts. It has a flat bar with a 1/2 socket holder on it. It was tedious without any ratcheting action, however the tensioner came out slowly. I then removed the others as described in the LN instructions. After checking the cams to see that nothing moved, pulled the IMSB cover. Checked my cams again and extracted the bearing and smashed my thumb nail easily. The dual row retainer poppping free caught me with my hand in a bad position. I have a little color under the nail. The bearing looks better than my thumb. Cleaning up and stopping for the day.
