Which part of throw out bearing to grease?

2056 Views 6 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  McCoy
OK, I am in the middle of my clutch install. This is my first time, and am trying to figure out if I need to just grease the pilot shaft or if I need to grease both the pilot shaft and T/O bearing (a.k.a. release bearing)?

From the picture below, do I grease (A) the pilot shaft or (B) the bearing part of the throw out bearing or both (A) and (B)?



All help is appriciated...

part A
^^^ That's affirmative. Try adding some anti-seize to the grease to prevent a gritchy clutch pedal after a few months.


That there is a pic of my tranny ready to go in. You can sort of see what part of the t/o bearing was greased, which is consistent with what serchef said.

Thanks guys, I wasn't 100% sure...

We'll, the car is driving now and has excellent pedal feel with the new Clutchnet disk/PP combo. The only problem now is the passanger side CV boot that ripped sometime during the removal/install process :rolleyes: Guess, that will be on my list for next month's work.

I wrapped duct tape around the torn section of the boot, it has not leaked any grease.... this after driving on it for about 30 miles last night and today.

T-25 goes on the first week of March, so it will get replaced then.
