Leading evidence: 'Replace plugs and tunnels' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'by splitting the case' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace plugs and tunnels' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

He used the supplied tool to tap the bearing in and it went inside the casing.

The only way I can see resolving this issue is by splitting the case but, I wanted to ask everyone here if they had any other suggestions or this has happened to anyone else and what was done.

My buddy was trying to do his ims change with a vertex auto ims bearing upgrade.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Thanks for any help I can relay to him
There's the issue.
1. If you don't have crank and cams locked, I probably would think long and hard about proceeding. Maybe others in this situation can offer better advice. I locked cams and crank then removed all three tensioners when I did mine.
2. Remove at least two accessible tensioners. Right and left side when looking at IMS. 32mm socket. Third is below the AC compressor. Takes either 32mm or Large Allen key.
I'd probably try to cook up something to extract it (if this was my car), but it would probably involve wrecking the bearing. This is one of those points where things either get better quickly or they get much worse quickly...it would pay to get some help before things go further south
He wants 12k
2001 porsche 996 911
I started a project with an 01 911 to rebuild. The motor ran fine, and was doing general maintennance. I was inserting the eternal bearing, tapped the bearing too far and now the intermediate shaft is sideways in the housing. I started school and have no time for the car. I would like to sell the car and parts as a whole. I have a lot of new patrs listed below. the car has 130,000 miles on it.
The motor is currently pulled and will need a truck to move the motor/car.
