I just recently changed mine, with 15 years and 146K on it. (Actually I had it changed by a pro). I pulled the grease seal off, and there was still a tiny amount of grease left in the bearing, so I'm not sure how many more miles it would have gone. After seeing that, I feel that it was a smart decision to change it. Since I had the clutch replaced, it just made sense to replace the IMS bearing.
