It's my understanding that the 2.5 motors have the early two row IMS bearing, which can be replaced w/o splitting the case. I believe this to be the case with the single row bearings as well, and that it is the MY2006 and later that have the difficult to replace IMS bearings.

More info here at LN's site:

More importantly, I wish you a speedy recovery with your back issues.

Best of luck,
Aron
