If you're diving into a clutch replacement or just looking to keep your ride in top shape, the Advanced Clutch Release Bearing RB005 is a solid choice. This isn't just any release bearing; it's a high-quality, direct-fit component that meets or even exceeds the original equipment (OE) standards. I’ve used this bearing in my own projects, and I can tell you it really delivers.
When it comes to installation, it’s pretty straightforward. If you need a little guidance, you can check out the install instructions here. Trust me, having a clear guide makes all the difference, especially if you’re working on a classic ride.
One of the standout features of this bearing is its precision. It’s designed to OE specs or better, which means you’re getting a reliable part that fits just right. The materials are robust, made from steel, so you know it’s built to last. Plus, the ball bearing type ensures smooth operation, giving you that seamless clutch feel when you're shifting gears.
Now, let’s talk numbers for a second. The RB005 has an inside diameter of 1.57 inches (39.9 mm) and an outside diameter of 2.5 inches (63.5 mm). It’s sealed and self-aligning, which is a huge plus when it comes to durability and performance. Weighing in at just 0.4 lbs, it’s light enough not to add unnecessary bulk to your setup. Just keep in mind, it doesn’t come with mounting tabs or a race included, but that’s pretty standard for this type of part.
This release bearing is a perfect fit for a few classic Toyota models, including the Celica from 1972 to 1974, the Mark II from the same years, and the Toyota Pickup from 1975 to 1977. So if you’re restoring one of these beauties or just keeping your daily driver in check, the RB005 is a reliable option that won’t let you down.
