My dad and are are replacing the clutch on his '92. He got the Exedy twin plate clutch kit from SOS. PN HMG12SD on the clutch and HCAK102 on the bearing kit.
We cannot figure out how to install the throw out bearing onto the pressure plate. We disassembled the clutch and have the pressure plate separated, but we cannot get the throw out bearing to seat in the fingers of the pressure plate. It seems like it needs to be pressed onto the fingers. I have never seen a throw out bearing like this, neither has my mechanic buddy.
Has any installed these before? I am missing something obvious? I don't want to wreck the brand new parts pressing it together if that is not correct.
