i read in a magazine that when you replace the clutch, you have to replace the throw-out bearing and in order to do so, you need a hydrolic press to be the bearing off of some metal rod thing. is this true?
You either read wrong or that mag was FOS man.. they slip right off of the shift fork. If you were trying to take it apart, you may need a press, but not to get it off of the tranny.
Besides, throwout bearings are cheap. My new clutch came with one (ACT).
If you're going to replace your clutch/bearing, just do the flywheel at the same time. It's not an easy task (not real hard either, just time consuming) to take your tranny out so you want to do all you can while you're in there. JMO.
