Seeing as your 'Seach Function' doesn't want to be my friend, and is starting to hurt my feelings, I thought i'd just post. Sorry my appology's if it's been asked/answered before.

My thrust bearing is noisy and I need a new one. The clutch feels all fine and dandy, and can still take a bootfull of abuse, so can I just buy a new bearing?

What sort of price do they go for and how much lighter am I going to be after said purchase? Any pro's/con's as to what to get and from where?

I'm not affraid of tackling the job, as being RWD, how hard can it be?? Naive - Perhaps. Any little gremlins that could upset me?

Many questions I know - But bear with me.

Apologies about search - I need to modify some defaults to make it work better

I think it was 'JamesV6CDX' that put a load of info and pics
up when he did a complete clutch change on one of his steeds.

I can't recall it ever making it into the Maintenance section, for
some reason, so no idea how to find the thread.

No probs mate, just thought i'd try and read some info before pulling the idiot apart!

Found it!

Loads of lovely pics and info courtesy of 'JamesV6CDX'.

Enjoy!

Superb - Thanks very much.

I think it's time for me to get it up on the ramps.

The way I see it, swing the prop down, 'box side. Undo the gearbox and other gubbins, then pull it back far enough to slide a little Chinese boy in there and fetch the release bearing.
