    M818 throwout bearing failure (bigtime!)

    You will likely want a high-temp sticky grease.. In a normal bench vice it was a piece of cake.. For the disassembly task, the vice should be holding only the forged slider assy, not the bearing case itself.. Never put clamping pressure on the bearing case, you don't want to distort anything...

    M818 throwout bearing failure (bigtime!)

    O..M..G... WTF !!!!! Well, the tranny is down.. Not happy to see a like-new clutch pack in the M818 with failed T/O bearing and chewed up PP fingers .. I bought this truck direct at an army base and there is no grease fitting on bearing... So,,,,,, After Action Report: What have I...

    M818 throwout bearing failure (bigtime!)

    I realize this is an older post, and now that I am elbow-deep in a T/O replacement i am surprised there's hardly anything on SS about the subject.. i was looking for some "cheats" or helpful info and to refresh my memory..
