Throwout Bearing Replacement

[ez8]

Don't need any help, just wanted to communicate that I replaced the throwout bearing my truck per the technical manuals and it was easy as it could be. If you're looking to do this just rip into it and get it done.
Here are some pictures.

Most of my time was spent freeing up frozen bolts, other than that it was very straightforward. This was the first one of these I've had to do where I didn't have to also wiggle the engine around. All of them should be this easy. All in it took me 3.5 hours which includes me taking a break every so often to relax my shoulders.

Used an ATV jack to get the transmission out of the way

Taking a trip down Memory lane-looks just like mine the handful of times I've had to pull my tranny out-nice job and thanks for sharing!

A tip on any of those 7/16" screws that hold the floor pan;

Spend a bit of time with a Dremel and wire brush to clean as much gunk/rust off the protruding threads from underneath. It will pay great dividends.

Clean up all the bolt threads, and give them a thin coat of silicone grease.

Then run a tap thru all the weld nuts before reassembly.

You will be doing this all again down the road and it will really lower the frustration level next time.
