Installing The Release Bearing - G50

[lucittm]

Does anyone have an easy way to install the release bearing in the clutch pressure plate?
The circlip is ready to be pressed into the groove of the bearing but the pressure plate "fingers" are holding the bearing up to high to clear the retaining ring!!!



Thanks,
Mark

Solved by a trip to the local AAMCO Transmission shop and $40.00. It took them about 30 minutes. Without a press and several adapter rings, this installation is quite impossible.

Someone said you could do it by "standing on it." I think that is a recipe for broken ears on the release bearing, not to mention the risk of a accidental fall.
