Yes, but the bearing suffers an incredibly low failure rate. As the motor needs to be pulled apart, it it is not a "service" item. Lol. You are far more likely to suffer a scored cylinder or rod bearing failure. That can be fixed by pulling the motor apart as well, but not considered "servicable" either...
I wonder what has the higher rate of failure, early replacement small bearings (single or dual row) or the OE larger bearing in the 2005.5 motors onwards?
We install plenty of LN Engineering bearings and Solutions, and we like them. But not sure I am sold on replacing a large reliable bearing with a smaller serviceable one... Yes, the Solution would be an upgrade. But there are bearings of the same dimensions available as the original with far higher load capacities as well.
YMMV
Cheers
