I am helping my father-in-law replace the clutch on his 1944 Ford Jeep. What is involved with changing the thrust bearing?

Is there somebody on this forum that could PM me if they have some Jeep experience? It would be a great help.

I used to have one of those, had the engine out a few times. If you are talking about the clutch release (throwout) bearing it is a piece of cake. Pull the engine and just pull the old one off and install the new one. A couple hour job.

If you are talking about the clutch shaft pilot bearing, not much of a problem either. Just need a bushing puller.

David, the thrust bearing is pressed on the bearing carrier.

Be sure and replace the starter bushing in the bell housing while you have it apart. They are a pain in the butt to do in the jeep,

I have a 1945 Ford GPW, we just rebuilt the entire drive train, motor to wheels. We could not have done it without all the information on the great forum similar to this forum:
