Default Re: Timken Throw out bearings

The older bearings would have a cosmoline packed or smeared on the bearings, races, what have you.
It needs to be cleaned off. Using mineral spirits, break clean...... Then repack the bearings.
Newer bearings seem to have an oil type preservative to prevent rust. I tend to clean it off and repack with your choice of grease.
