1951 Dodge throw out bearing

[51Meadowbrook]

Question does the bearing part of the throw out bearing pressed onto the sleeve? Or do I have to buy the sleeve and bearing all in one piece ?

[DJ194950]

Yes it just a press fit and really not all that tight.

You can remove it by using a socket that matches closely the OD of the sleeve.

Install is also easy with a vise just align the two parts in the vise and tighten. If yours is still a greasable type make sure to align the small notch in the hosing and the similar spot in the bearing. Your year however does not have a greasable type sleeve and bearing from the factory it is a sealed type. Just mentioned  in case.

Bearing should be avail. locally as it is not that special. Take the used one to a good full stocked parts store as they should be to help you.

Best,

DJ
