According to the Advance Adapters web site, the sleeve type of throwout
bearing that this vehicle uses is very susceptible to contamination.
Any dirt that you leave inside the bell housing is going to get into
the seal, and make it leak hydraulic fluid.

I saw a "new, improved" throwout bearing on their web site, but I don't
know if this is necessary. It seems that cleanliness on reassembly
should be sufficient. In view of the trouble it takes to get this
thing apart, it wouldn't hurt to err on the side of paranoia here.

The trans is laying on the floor under the jeep, the surfaced flywheel is on
the bench, the clutch and bearings are in the mail. The driveshafts and
exhaust are on the floor, the carpet and access panels are out, and my head
hurts.

I've been working 12-14hr days so I wont have any time to slam it all back
together untill saturday. Still confused how to install the pilot bearing
and throwout bearing. What I'm guessing is the pilot bearing is in the
flywheel, not the crank. Also unsure how I'm going to actually put it the
trans up there.

The re-install of the clutch seems straightforward. Bolt the flywheel back
on, torque to 15lbs, 30lbs, and 50lbs. Install the clutch disk and pressure
plate, torque to 23lbs. Pull out the alignment tool, get a good workout
getting the trans and t-case assembly back up there.

still interested in that drink, Robb? :-D
