Hate to be the one to tell you this, but by pulling on the existing IMS bearing in the manner(s) shown in your video, you have most likely damaged both the ball bearings and their cages, which will lead to a quick and catastrophic failure down the road.

All of the knowledgeable IMS retrofit companies will tell you to never reuse an IMS bearing after is has been extracted, or attempted to extract, for this exact reason. Once it is stressed and loaded, it has to come out and be replaced.
