Centerforce Throw Out Bearing / Clutch Release Bearing for Ford Manual N1493
$62.95

If you're diving into a clutch job, you’ll want to make sure you have a solid Throw Out Bearing on hand. This Centerforce Throw Out Bearing, also known as a Release Bearing, is top-notch. It’s designed to fit right in as a direct replacement for your stock part, so you won’t have to worry about compatibility issues. Trust me, when you're in the middle of a project, the last thing you want is to be hunting for parts that don’t fit.

One thing I’ve learned from working on my own rides is that it’s always a good idea to replace the pilot bearing or bushing along with the release bearing whenever you’re swapping out the clutch. It just saves you the hassle down the line. Centerforce really emphasizes this, and I can’t stress enough how important it is to listen to that advice.
