Hi Gino,
I must admit that I've never had to change clutch thrust bearing as they can be easily cleaned out and pumped full of grease as they are a very low tolerance bearing and have plenty of inner race movement in them which they are meant to have due to the nature of the action they are subjected to.
As I suggested in the above post that there would be no affordable method to overcome the rip off we are being subjected to with the rear roller bearing. I just can't get my head around why they originally chose such an oddball size in the first instance. That bearing also is not a high tolerance unit with a rather cheap construction as it was never to be a high speed unit, rather a reliable low speed non serviceable unit.
Out of interest how much do you think it would cost for you to spit out about 10 collars ?
Cheers,
BB.
