There is a larger problem here. Installing an IMS bearing puts all the load on the outer race and none on the balls and cages. Extracting an IMS does exactly the opposite, all the load is on the balls and cages. This is why LN tell people to never reuse one of their bearings, even if it only got cocked during installation, because the ceramic balls are now compromised. Once it has been pulled on by the center bolt, it is toast..............
