I am keen to have the IMS retrofit done as well, since my clutch will be due for replacement in the next year. It seems intuitive that the LN Engineering kit would provide some added amount of protection from IMS failure simply because the bearing is obviously more sturdy than the OEM one. Nothing is 100% protective, though.

I am wondering about the risks involved in the OEM bearing removal process. The essay about the process by the company suggests that the effort put into pulling out the bearing (compressing the lock ring) is critical and somewhat risky. Has anyone suffered damage to the engine a a result of this bearing removal procedure? Or has it become a relatively safe and routine procedure?
