Not me

I plan on doing mine myself when I change the clutch out. This will be a huge undertaking and I do not plan on skimping out on a cheap bearing. I love the dual row replacement for my single row in my 2001S but no individual sales on these so I have a several months to find the best an individual can get.

Yes, but it's more then just a "bearing kit", it's a complete overhaul of the IMSB along with clean oil injection system into the bearing. You will never have to replace this kit, but you will have to replace lower cost kits.

Definitely go for the IMS solution. Best choice on the market, hands down. You'll want to pick this up quick as it's not supposed to be available to the general public.

You can buy it right off LNE's site, but for more money.

Nope, you can buy it right off their site, even in guest mode (no account).
