    Sorry to drag up an old thread - was there a resolution to this? My pressure gauge jiggles a bit too and looking for solutions unless they all do it?

    FWIW did the job today. It was simple once the guy had removed the transmission. Bearing came out easily, new one in the feeezer, a bit of heat on the ims tube and it went in with only light persuasion. Loctite and tightened everything up. As a data point, the original IMS bearing was fine, and feels like new. It would have lasted the life of the engine. At least now I know it will go for ten years easily and I can sleep well :) $2k spent well then...(don't tell my wife...) :rolleyes:

    I bought them from Utzon.se B) The tools are on an exchange basis so will send them back.

    Thanks guys - it isn't an LNE kit. Not to go into the debate, but I will install an original spec metal ball bearing with an "upgraded" seal that doesn't degrade apparently. Next time i'm in there (five years, another 50k miles or so?) I'll swap it again as part of routine maintenance.

    Thanks for the links. No worries, I am not the newbie it sounds like, just haven't done this particular one before. The tools seem overkill for a simple bearing extraction and gentle tapping in place...but given the links I get it now. I suppose tools 4 + 5 looking from the left are to lock the cams? Common sense, go slow and stop and ask when not going to plan is my general approach, not intending to screw the engine even though its the first time I do this job.

    Hi would be glad if someone could help me out with how I use these tools that came with my IMS bearing replacement kit (preventative!). I will be in a shop to remove the trans and flywheel, but the IMS bearing I'm doing myself. Perhaps there are some step by step pics I just haven't been able to search out? TIA Mike EDIT - forgot to say, this is a 2002 C4S manual approx 55k miles
