Holy cow, State, you need to spend a little more time on the forum!!

Check out Post 7 in this thread.

The RMS is the rear main seal, which is easily pulled out and a new one pushed in with the proper depth-setting tool.

The IMS refers to the bearing under the Intermediate Shaft Seal. With the proper procedure and tools, the old bearing is popped out and a new one pushed in.

Both with the tranny out, of course.
