Re: Throwout bearing
The 49 and up passenger car bearing itself is smaller than the 78-7580 bearing pictured above. This smaller bearing has the 8A-7580 Ford part number. We stock this bearing and it’s a USA made part. The bigger problem is that many customers need the bearing AND the carrier hub as well. The 49-51 hub has not been reproduced in recent years. You can find them occasionally via auction sites etc but not through the normal vendor channels. We’ve got a supply of the spring that is riveted to the carrier hub (but not the rivets). Hopefully some vendor or manufacturer will be able to step up and produce this item again…..in the meantime, this is the current situation.
