My new throwout bearing is stuck on my clutch plate. I was able to remove it but how is this even possible Question
This is an EE20 Subaru clutch and a new an FAG throwout bearing. I wonder if I need a larger bearing.

The Exedys I use have a release on the TOB that will allow you to remove it.

It got it of but destroyed the bearing in the process.
The bearing plate got somehow inside the push springs.
Do you know if I have to use a Subaru through-out bearing for this dual-mass flywheel clutch?

I had this happen years ago...it led me to use the 240mm, pull type setup.
Again gasser, can't help much with your setup.

Would you suggest switching to pull to release setup, changing the push clutch or finding a larger throug-out bearing?

I cannot recommend anything as I do not believe that there is a "diesel" version of what I use due to the dual mass flywheel.

Nope, that one is too small a diameter for me and also has the TOB that will not release.
