Throw-out bearing install

[pappy]

Does the recessed part of the bearing go toward the hub, or does the flat side?

The rounded side should face the clutch finger thingies...

It goes together just the way you've got it in the picture.
Pick up the bearing, set it on the hub, and squish it in the press.

That looks like the TO brg for a 3 finger clutch, BTW.

Shouldn't be. That's what I had and this bearing is way bigger. It's a Nachi 052TRBC09-7, Toyota 90363-52001-77 for a 1986 FJ60. Thanks, they are squished together.

In the pitcher above, the bearing looked flat on the thrust side, like an early one, not crowned like a later bearing.

That is the FJ60 part #.

I was surprised how much bigger the 2F bearing/hub is compared to the F.

I went looking at this thread before assembling a new clutch hub to TO bearing.

The pictures are gone, but the words help - rounded side toward the clutch diaphragm.

My Aisin clutch kit came w/ Koyo bearing RCT52S.

Here is what came w/ my Aisin clutch kit:

The clutch hub should have a small hole in each “ear” to secure the retaining wire spring thingys. I don’t see the little holes on your hub ears.

Good eye!

It's on the other side!
You are seeing the surface that the clutch fork rides on. It does not go all the way through on mine.

NOTE Georg's words of wisdom when it comes to assembling the throw out bearing to the clutch hub:

F, 2F, 3F and 3FE rear main seal, oil pan gasket and clutch installation instructions

I’ve been asked countless times how we install these items so I thought it was about time I’d post a thread on here about it. I was taught how to install these parts by a couple of people with VAST experience, one of them being none other than Mudrak. First step is to remove the oil pan...
