The release bearing gets mounted to the front of the transmission but
before you can do that the four bolts on the front need to come out
along with that bearing cover on the input shaft.

Here is what it looks like under the cover which is a
tapered roller bearing made by Timken. It sure is nice to know that good
bearings are used here because it's just another selling point that I'll
be sure to share with other people.

Here you can see the backside of the bearing cover along with the
bearing race and two shims. The race wasn't pressed in very tight and
came out with one try of my screwdriver. I'm pretty sure the shims were
under the race for bearing preload which I'll use if needed.
|
|
 |
|
What needs to be done is to relocate the race and shims into my new
release bearing. Seems like an easy swap here but first I want to check
one dimension.
|
|
 |
What I wanted to check was the depth of the two pockets to make sure
they were same. The reason I'm doing this is because of those two shims
that were under the race. If the depth was different then I'd need to
figure out if I would need more or less shim depending on what I found.
Good news... they were the same so I'll be putting it back together like
I found it.

A little RTV silicone will help keep all the fluid inside
the trans. See that notch at the bottom, that needs to be orientated
like the original one, which was at the top.
