I have looked but not really found a grease fitting-thanks | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 5,708 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 5,708 | bolted54,
These bearings are sealed with a factory pack and don't require any servicing. When they howl and scream, it's usually time for a whole clutch/pressure plate redo, at which time you stick in a brand new throwout bearing.

And replacement of the clutch/pressure plate while you are there. Saves time.
That is best.

To R&R the transmission for clutch work, you don't have to actually pull the rear end/drive line, you just disconnect it at the u-joint and drop it down.
A noisy throwout bearing can last a very long time. If you have future plans I think I would agree with you...just wait!
