Who has the best release (throw-out) bearing for sale? I am not looking for the best price but looking for a bearing that is reliable. My last one failed after 500 miles.
For a 1957 235 6 / SM420 (in a 1952 Chevy 3100)
Thanks
Ron

If you can find a NOS that would also be good.
I have a post on my blog about repacking bearings.

I figured since I had it apart I may as well put in a new TO bearing. Ordered it from my FLAPS and when the counter guy handed it to me I saw CHINA on it. Handed it right back and said "No Thanks". Repacked my old one and will probably pick up an NOS New Departure when I come across one to have for backup.

Thanks for the info.
Do you have the stock number for the New Departure release bearing for my truck?
Thanks,
Ron
