| From: Michael Jones <mjon-@yahoo.com> Hi, Todd. The throw-out bearing is lubed by gear oil from the tranny. When I have mine out I put a little grease on it before re-installation, but I'm sure it's not a big deal. The grease will wash off in the gear oil. The two washers serve as bearing races. Install one on each side of the bearing. I make a sandwich out of the assembly: washer-grease-bearing-grease-washer, and then stick it in. The grease holds the hole thing together. -Mike (69 ambo, 77 vert) |
Thanks Mike.....thats what I figured. Hopefully will get it in
tonight. The cold front here in western wisconsin is moving
out and should warm up later this week. Wet and cold here
the past 5 days.....even some snow!! So when it clears later
I can see how well I have done.....
Todd
