All the parts are in the shop and the car is torn apart so it looks like I'll be doing the IMS bearing either today or tomorrow. I've read through all the guides a few times but am still a little nervous. Does anyone have any last minute advice or pitfalls for a total Porsche noob like myself?

The bearing and install tool are currently sitting in the freezer and will likely get transfered into a cooler of dry ice just prior to insertion.

I've also seen where guys use dead blow hammers instead of something more solid which gives them fits.

Any suggestions?
