| I have tried all afternoon to install the 2 little spring clips that hold the throw out bearing in place with no luck. Is there a special tool? I cant spread them apart wide enough, they keep popping out of place when trying to fasten them to the grooves and holes etc. Any one have a trick to getting these things in place? |

put one clip on the throw out arm groove,line up the t.o. bearing hole onto the clip on that side.
put the other clip in the other hole ( t.o. bearing)
use small pliers or needle nose to put spring on arm (groove)
not that hard.................. |

| Be sure and put some safety wire on them because they can fall off. |

Actually, the clips when installed rub and bind on the back of the bearing, (photo is bearing backwards after removing) This is a sure fire way to give me problems from premature clip failure, who the f designed these, a 5 cent clip is holding my clutch assembly hostage... I'd rather weld the assembly on with a u joint type housing, or fastened with 2 set screws or the like, anyone make something better?
