Here is what you do.Get a new brass bearing from Rancho transmissions($10),in calif. Dont know the number.Remove the circlip from the clutch shaft arm. Drive a chisel between the case and slave cyl mount,to push the clutch shaft arm off.If it wont come off with modetrate pressure,be prepared to saw the cos in two($18).EZ to do. get a new cos,of course.I have done this 3 times. Twop came off like butgter.One took a ton or two of dynamite.I finally removed the arm from the shaft just for saying I did it. All was destroyed doing it. Tap a thread in the new brass bearing. Get a bolt to screw into the brass bearing.That will hold it. There is a circlip on the inside that will provide a bearing stop when the new bearing is driven in.Perhaps it has come off? I think a new brass bearing can be installed with the trans still installed.The passenger side bearing is brass and usually in good shape,still.The driver side bearing,the one that takes the load, is PLASTIC. If you want a AHD clutch,get a brass bearing first.
