Hey folks ....

if a mechanic/shop is doing my IMS upgrade, do I need to order the IMS Retrofit Tool kit for them also (the one that costs $250)?

Or would any decent shop already have the necessary tools to do the upgrade (im talking about after the tranny has been removed) ... so all i need to supply is the actual LN Eng IMS retrofit bearing + RMS ....

since im not in the US .. i will be ordering the new IMS bearing myself and giving it to the shop to install for me.... im just worried there is some "proprietary" stuff in the Tool kit that mandates buying it ... in order to fit the new IMS.

Thanks!
