Decided to order the Pelican Parts IMS bearing kit. For $175 I'm not making a huge investment in an engine that could fail for other reasons in the near future. If I have to go to all the trouble of locking the cams + crank to replace the seal, may as well just pull the bearing out too.

I also bought a used set of the LN Engineering IMS tools that I plan on re-selling once I replace the bearing.
