Clutch release bearing question
I can't seem to get in back together. What is the correct way???
I took the starter (kicker) cover off to fix a leak. It is a early '70s 4 speed. It has the Clutch Release Bearing, 3F in the image below. From what I can tell you have to put the bearing on with the cover, but I just can't seem to get it to stay together, the bearing will not go on the shaft, everything just gets in a bind. Am I doing it the wrong way?
I can put the cover on without the bearing ok, the studs or holes in the cheap azz cover are a little out of alignment. So it has to be worked on, this is what is causing the problem. Balancing everything and getting the bearing on the shaft is a bi%ch.
Thanks,
Pat

An easy way is to place the bearing in the cover aligned with 18, then take the pushrod 4 and place it in the bearing. You use the pushrod as a guide to get it all lined up as you put it back in.
