Re: Timken Throw out bearings
The shiny surface (which has the machined flat face) is the side that faces the clutch. The bearing slides on by hand most of the way. The last 1/8” of travel is a light press fit. We use our shop press but you could do it in a bench vise if you blocked it into place adequately. The lip of the carrier hub will protrude through the other side of the bearing slightly when fully installed so allow for it to clear the bearing when pressing them together.
