Mcleod hydraulic throwout bearing

[AC-460]

Can someone tell me does the Mcleod internal slave just hang by the hoses or is there something that stops it turning....

Hi,
This is a long time ago.
But let try to explain.
The T/O bearing is located at the collar [box], and this one doesn't rotate.
The threaded part that take care of the position, has a "O" ring for fixing.

The T/O bearing main body, has a radial bolt and you get with the package a steel angle that should be fixed to one of the bearing collar bolt. [at the box]

So there is no rotation or sliding.
I am talking here about the first type of T/O bearing

Regards,

I've pondered the same question but it appears to hang by the hoses only. Does seem like sloppy engineering but I've had no problems.

medistat - You do realize that the most recent post before yours was over two years old, and some of the others are five years old, don't you?

Seems to me old threads can be a resource. A new thread has no information in it at all...the old thread may have something that is still relevant to the problem and all the history won't have to be rediscovered.

Would you go to a library and tell the librarian "what up with all these OLD BOOKS...?...I want NEW books, why there is NOTHING to learn from the history...that's OLD NEWS...I want some fresh news".

Old threads may not get much response since few will be watching the thread closely, but it gets bumped to the top and if there is anything new to add, it may show up.

In the meantime, McLeod still makes hyd t/o's so someone my be running into the same problems.
