From LN's web site:
"Can I replace my IMS bearing?
LN Engineering offers three IMS solutions, two of which can be done without disassebly of the engine while the engine is still in the car:
* single row IMS retrofit kit (fits MY02-05 M96 engines including some MY00-01)
* dual row IMS retrofit kit (fits MY97-99 M96 engines including some MY00-01)
The last option, our IMS Upgrade, requires engine disassembly and the complete intermediate shaft to be sent in to us to be reconditioned and upgraded with our triple-bearing upgrade. A separate upgrade service is available for the updated M97 IMS as well.
But before proceeding with an IMS Retrofit, you first need to identify which IMS you have! "
