: Sorry for the delay in posting an update.
: Only today did my son complete
: removing the gearbox so we could fit
: the new release bearing.
:
: The "old" release bearing was
: only about 18 months old. It was
: marked simply with "HD 3268".
: The outer shell that includes the
: radiused front face had split, cracked,
: and separated. Inside the ball cage
: had disintegrated and was torn and
: twisted. From the few short clutch
: depressions the inner race and radiused
: front piece had overheated and turned
: blue. It was a spectacular piece of
: failure that my son says he will place
: in his collection of other failed
: British car parts.
:
: I ended up buying (2) replacement
: bearings. One was a closeout
: Beck-Arnley part from RockAuto. The
: other was from an eBay seller in the
: U.K. Both were Japanese bearings, both
: appear heavier than the failed one. We
: installed the Beck-Arnley bearing as it
: was the heavier piece.
:
: Now my son just needs to finish putting
: the rest of the bits back together.
: With the rain we have been having that
: is going to take a few days but we are
: confident that the car will be back
: better than ever.
