I broke the LN Faultless IMS tool

[JFP in PA]

You may need to resort to the old way of installing the bearing using a hammer and installation tool.

I am actually interested in what you find when you remove the Faultless tool as I have never had a bearing cock or refuse to go in when using mine; normally they just glide into place with minimal effort.

I'm also in PA, so PM me if you feel like seeing it IRL. Otherwise, here's a video of the tool removed and the bearing jammed with the lock ring exposed: https://youtu.be/71iXAxee1NA

The lock ring is still visible. Here's a video: https://youtu.be/71iXAxee1NA?si=iMESD2wiaJ2Xiu-_

The old fashioned way worked! It was a bit tricky getting the metal ring in while hammering, but a little pick, a flathead, and a lot of patience did the trick. Thank you again @JFP in PA!!! I would've trashed my bearing had you not chimed in, so I am very thankful for your help.
