Hello, well I'm putting in my new throw out bearing I got with my KC clutch, being the dumbass I am, I forgot to check to see how it was in, dont know if its a big deal or not, but on the TOB, there is a sorta raised bump on the back part the cylinder. Does it matter whether it faces the clutch cable or the pivot?? Any fast advice would be great so I can knock this off of my to do list for my engine install on friday. Thanks

Also do I have to grease up the bearing retainer or will the grease already on the inside of the TOB be sufficient enough?

The bump keeps the bearing from spinning around, however the TOB must go in with the bearing surface towards the fingers on the PP. I like to put a small amount of grease on the fork where the bearing rides and on the pivot.
