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

I decided to do the IMS upgrade from LN engineering dual row bearing. I attempted to remove the bearing with the LN toolkit and the support stud snapped off inside the LN tool. Then I decided to use the "Easy Out" tool. After about 10 seconds of trying to get the "Easy out" tool inside the bearing, the copper wire broke off at the threaded piece. As you can see this is not going well. Should I try to call LN and get another "Easy Out" tool and take that chance or should I go ahead and buy a bearing puller? Originally the LN tool did not budge the bearing at all and that is what caused the stud to snap. What's the chance the "Easy Out" tool or bearing puller will work? Any other way to get it out?

POST 2Original post

I know that LN does not support DIY installs, however, I would think that Charles would want to know when his tools break. I have found him very approachable. Give us an update, Good luck.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am well aware they don't guarantee self installs. I was just trying to see if it happened to anyone else. The bearing is just in there really tight.

POST 4Original post

What year? There is a very good chance that the puller and bearing were not lined up and the bearing was being pulled against the puller instead of into it. Long winded way of saying the easy out tool will probably work if you can get it in place.

POST 5Original post

The first time I did mine it snapped the ready rod, second time tried a little pressure and left for a few minutes ,tighten a bit more and waited,a few more like this going easy and heard a pop out she came easy. hope this helps good luck.
