If you're in range of a dealers, dont plan on converting but are planning on blowing out a bearing prewarn the dealer so they can stock themselves on all 40 of the different spacing shims that are available so they can correctly set the preload/endfloat.

Blknight, am I correct to assume to go to adjustable bearings it's just a matter of removing the spacer tube between the bearings, and fitting a locking tab washer and tightening as per normal wheel bearings?

If you go back to the old way, it's easier to set the bearing preload with a torque wrench than setting end float with a dial gauge.

more or less

yes.

when you want to do it just ring MR Auto and ask them for the gear to do the conversion. Trust me on that or read This thread on stake nuts then This thread on the hilarity of ordering parts.
