all 3 bearing were still fine when removed, and replaced with LNE ceramic ball bearing.

Use ln bearing since you're putting in the ims solution

That would be a factor and I assume you used an LN bearing since you're putting in the IMS Solution.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So yesterday I finally got around to install My IMS solution. when removing the bearing I was expecting the �traditional� half a cup of oil to come out, but nothing came out. I had maybe half of a tea spoon of oil in the shaft. this is the first time I�m installing an IMS bearing with the engine on the stand, and upside down (I installed 3 bearings in the past, the traditional way). Is it possible with the engine on the stand most of the oil seeped out? the bearing itself came out lightly oiled.

POST 2Original post

Since the bearing still has its seals, that's what I would expect. Pull the seals and see how much grease is still in it.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i just shipped it to LNE for registration. did think of opening it first.

POST 4Original post

You've installed 3 bearings? Same car? What are the miles between IMS bearing service? That would be a factor and I assume you used an LN bearing since you're putting in the IMS Solution. When my bearing was removed, it was the original and the car had 65K miles on it. Oil was filled in the shaft. Thankfully, the bearing had not failed.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

LOL. no I've installed 3 bearing in the past, in 3 different cars. first one was a single raw on my 2001 Boxster S at 74K miles, about 10 years ago. The second was on my 99 Boxster base (dual raw at 160K), and the third was on my friends 2001 Boxster base (67K). in all 3 of them when i removed the bearing i had about half a cup of oil coming out of the shaft. all 3 bearing were still fine when removed, and replaced with LNE ceramic ball bearing. The solution was not available back then. this is the first time I'm installing the solution on my 996 C2 at 62k miles, and the single row bearing that came out, looks fine as well.
