I never see posted anywhere somebody putting in the ceramic bearing from LN. Sounds like when it comes to LN, it's either the solution or nothing at this point in time.

I would like to replace mine with the stock Porsche bearing but cannot find it here in the United States. Can get it shipped from Germany, but still have to have the right tool to install it because of the internal spring design and getting it into the shaft.
LN Dual row, single row, and single row Pro's still being installed, but people have recognized the long-term value of going with the Solution's "once and done" approach, making it very popular. Personally, never cared for either the roller bearing concept, and in particular how EPS gets oil to it.

I don't care for the EPS oiling concept either. If I ever did that bearing I would not bother with the punch and the oil shaft. Install it and let it go. EPS says that the oil pump modification is not necessary for their bearing to work. The roller bearing as a replacement sure seems to be picking up steam. There are at least 4 companies out there right now offering their version of a roller bearing replacement. They are either taking advantage of this latest popularity and the naivety of the consumer or there is something to it as a viable option. Time will tell.
