Throw out/clutch bearing seal advice
« on: October 22, 2020, 14:02:26 »
Hi all

Can anyone advise easiest way of pushing the throw out bearing seal back in please?  I'm worried about damaging the seal itself.  Photo shoes old original seal in situ prior to me removing.

Regards

Find a thin wall metal sleeve and press or drive it in. I found a hole saw just the right size, ground the teeth off smooth and used it to drive the seal in place.
