Good video on IMS changing.

Apologies if this has been posted but link shows a easy (READ....tools, money, time, garage facilities!) to change a IMS.

Ant is usually great, but IMS changing is fraught with dangers and often unnecessary.

Hartech for instance say that all you have to do is take the outer dust seal off (if it isn't already leaking) in order to lubricate the bearing sufficiently.

An oil feed like this can cause problems elsewhere in the lubrication system.

And I didnt see a mention of releasing the chain tension & locking the cams?

I guess that his point is that there is an additional hole for the oil to escape, hence, reduced oil pressure in the general system.
I asked my garage about the IMS and was advised to leave it and if I still want to do it then do follow the rote as showed in this video, something that I plan to do next year.
