A new bearing (50 odd bucks, can be had from bearing suppliers or mini shops) and about 3 hours of your time for the first attempt, an 1.5 hours for your second, most of that just scratching your head. Once the old bearing is out, you can press on a new one yourself, or take it to a mechanic or similar to have them remove and press on the new bearing. A very easy job to do, most of the time is spent getting bolts on and off. |

P.S. Grab a workshop manual as well. It helps with all the photographs. |

Be warned, there are cheap throw-out bearings out there... I try to use the original type ---> 3W5/8 & are normally between $50-$70 depending where & who you get it from not many of these floating around tho. But most people will try to sell you the ---> 7W5/8 normally cost about $20-$30 again depending on where/who you get it from Please try to make sure you have the clutch adjusted correctly after you have changed the bearing over, if it`s over adjusted, then your lovely new throw-out bearing will last barely 3 months (if you`re lucky) when adjusted correctly then there is no reason why the bearing shouldn`t last another 20-+(ish) years |
