Bought a complete pressue plate assembly for my 235' six cylinder. Was planning on having the plate balanced to the rest of the assembly and the Napa guy said it was not necacary. The one I just pulled was originally balanced, so what do I do?

Go ahead and install the new assembly, as is.

If the mating surface on you flywheel looks cracked/scored/glazed, have it machined (they might also balance it).

Use the matching throwout/release bearing and a new pilot bushing.

Put it on. They are balanced at the factory. If the TO brg. did not come with it make sure it matches the pressure plate style.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

Take your grease gun & pump the pilot bearing full of grease. Then get a piece of dowel, round stock, bolt , etc. just slightly smaller diameter than the i.d. of the pilot bearing & push it into bearing then cover with a rag. Now take a hammer & give the round stock a good solid whack & it's out.
