- Using a piece of sand paper, emery cloth, or Scotchbrite ™, smooth the transmission snout of any burrs & clean again.
- Slip repair sleeve over the transmission snout, positioning the set screws
45 degrees from transmission case halves seam.
- Make sure the back of the sleeve is tight against the transmission case. A slight tap on the shoulder may be required. Do not tap on the leading edge of the sleeve. This may damage it or cause the bearing to stick.
- Tighten the setscrews, careful not to over tighten, so as to prevent cracking the transmission snout or deforming the sleeve.
- Loctite (blue) on the threads is recommended.
- Apply supplied grease to the sleeve, the groove inside of the new throw out bearing, and the pivot ball on the transmission.
- Install the throw out bearing on the clutch fork. Reinstall fork and throw out bearing together.
- Apply label to right strut tower.
NOTICE!!!
When re-installing bearing, it MUST be installed WITH the fork onto the transmission installed sleeve and the pivot pin reinstalled.
DO NOT
Install the bearing onto the pressure plate, this will damage the bearing upon installation.
FAILURE to do this will VOID the warranty. The bearing will snap into the pressure plate ring by pushing rearward on the fork after the engine is installed.
