The tips do take a little longer to remove/install as you have the flex plate/converter to deal with. The front drive shaft is a few minutes worth of work to remove.

Replacing the AOS at the same time yields little labor savings, but they aren't expensive so not a bad idea to do all at once.

Definitely replace the RMS if you have the flywheel removed. No brainer. As you have a tip, no slave to worry about, but I would not replace a functioning one just because it was unbolted from the gearbox (but still hydraulically connected)

As you have a Tip, you have a tougher decision to make as you are not going in to replace a clutch anyways. It all comes down to how comfortable you are with the current bearing. Most never fail, some do, and when they do it is expensive. As you know there is tons of hype on the internet that says you must change it or it will cost you an engine. So, do your research and decide if it makes sense to spend the money and replace it. The economics might look poor from the prevention side, but hindsight after a failure suggest they would have made a lot of sense. Don't want to start any IMSB wars on your thread, but we replace them every month. We are yet to replace one that appears to be on its way out. That doesn't mean they would not have failed shortly, maybe failed in another 100k miles. I have seen motors locally that were diagnosed with IMSB failures where no real diagnosis took place. Those stories ends up on the internet as more motors with a failed IMSB...
