I'm glad to see people using the genuine toyota release bearing on aftermarket clutches. Having witnessed Daryls failure after 18 months on a clutchmasters one (noisy within 6 months) I wouldn't touch anything else. You say your own version of uprated crush tube. What do you do different to others out of interest ? I've thought about getting shoulder bolts made - getting round the problem of removing uprated crush tubes at a later date. |

Hiya chris Its the only release bearing I will use, every clutch I do I try my best to get the customer to let me fit a genuine toyota release bearing purely because of what you have mentioned, I have also come across this a few times My crush tubes are aluminium as well but they are longer, so far I have found all people apart from mrbarry selling the uprated crush tubes have not actually measured what dimensions the tube actually needs to be, they are all too short and once you install them you have to mess about aligning everything, with mine they keep the arm perfectly lined up. Imo the crush tubes main purpose is a guide to be sure the banana bar is locked up evenly and edges are flat together, ive not had any issues with mine locking up in the banana bar as I make sure everything is cleaned up properly and then plaster them with grease before installing them and its so far soo good Martin Martin |

One thing I'd like to see is a coarse square thread cut on the outside. It achieves two things When the alloy and pig iron do fuse it's only 50% of the surface area You have a chance of belting a torx/Allen bit up the bolt hole ans winding it out I appreciate the extra cost would deter many but for a long termer like me it would be a USP worth paying for |
