How to Install throw out bearing

[chobracobra]

When I line up the parts, the bearing slides in the fork ok, but how does that thing fit in bewteen the fingers? It just sits on top! Isnt it supposed to be in between the fingers? Anyone with a pic of it all installed, please post. thanks

nice shots! thanks. So the the big side get pushed in bewteen the clutch pressure plate fingers upon installation? I figured the fork part out, its just that when i lay the bearing on the pressure plate, it sits on top, it does not fit "easily " into the fingers. I never actually did a clutch swap myself, or was old enough to remeber deatils.

The "big part" of the bearing does not get pushed into the pressure plate fingers, it rides on top of them. If you've tried to force it into the little hole in the center of all the fingers you may have damaged the pressure plate.

Ok, thats all I needed to hear. " It just rides on top of the fingers" Thats what I figured. I just had to double check. No i never forced it in any way. thanks man
