I purchased a complete kit for rebuilding the throw out bearing shaft on my 82 air cooled Westy from GoWesty. It wasn't listed on their site, but when I called they found it for me.

The centering tool is the least of your problems. There are several other detail that you should not over look. I need to rebuild a clutch myself. Its chattered all its life. Flywheel is being cut as you read this, (thanks Walt). The last years, it has been dragging. I'm replacing the engine soon, and I need a pilot bearing and its seal, and a kit to rebuild the throw out bearing shaft. Any sources for this as a complete kit? These parts are critical to make the clutch work smooth.

Hey Boston Bob. What do you use for those pilot bearing seals.? Joe W.
