He ignored my PM and shortly after the new owner posted the infamous thread that the bearing failed.

Smart move getting two. Toss the second one into the glove box to use as a spare if you have a failure. ;-)

I’ve got the LN Tools ready to go when you are.

I only teach basic Automotive 101 classes. R&R of an IMSB is WAY beyond my students.
These bearings are just for me to play with.
Although I have had some that are interested in learning more about engine internals.
I’ve even shown the M96 engine on a stand to a few.

Today I’m going to R&R an AC compressor for a student. Actually HE is going to do the work while I instruct and supervise.

I’ve only taken the online M96/M97 and 9A1 classes from Jake. I hope to make the next M96/97 hands on class.

Tex, I have a ac compressor (from the m96) that I'd like to R&R. Can you post the process?

R&R = Repair and Replace
I can give basic instructions: (I've not done a 996 yet)
  1. Recover refrigerant with ac AC Recovery machine,
  2. Remove the AC lines.
  3. Remove the serpentine belt.
  4. Remove any bolts holding the compressor.
  5. Install new compressor.
  6. Install new lines (Replace o-rings as necessary)
  7. install new serpentine belt
  8. Using the recovery machine, place a vacuum on the system
  9. Wait 30 minutes to make certain that vacuum holds.
  10. Recharge system to specified amount.

It helps that I have a recovery machine and scales at home.
Nissan book time was 3.5 hours.
It took us 2.5 hours.
