Duke you could get grease in front of the clutch but you would have to over
pump a ton to get enough to get between the TO bearing and the clutch and
pressure plate- any excess should be removable if what I was told there is
room wise- a squirt every 10k miles should last a year. I havent checked to
see if there is room to run a hose out the clutch arm hole, so that greasing
would be much easier. They run hose out for hydraulic TO bearing, so a hose
should work fine. I will know in time and Ive learned other things to check IF
anyone who has had TO bearings making noise, contact me and we can discuss the
possibilities of why the TO bearing is making a noise. Tom explained several
things that might cause the noise and they all made sense. I LOVE my Tiger.

I think that the zerk to grease the TO bearing is a perfect way to sling
grease on your clutch.
I would not do it.
Is there a super heavy-duty Ford racing TOB?

John- the knee has plenty of play but I like the zerk idea, now instead of
grease I need a substance to take up the slack in the knee.Maybe some blue
silicone that will setup but be pliable enough to allow use. A zerk on the
TO
bearing is a great idea . I'm told old Ford ones had a zerk and Dave Munroe
has checked and reports that there is room to get a hose or tube and fitting
thru the clutch arm hole to grease the bearing. I'm planning on starting at
a
Ford dealership, then the Mustang guys to try to find an old type. I plan on
calling Tom Hall tonight as I'm told he recommends a Centerforce TO bearing
and I know he has a good reason and too there was a part number, so it might
be one that is hydraulic and does away with our slave cylinder. I will know
later.
THANKS for the kneezerk idea. LOL

To, TonytheTiger,
To eliminate the noise, you can drill and tap it with a 1/8 pipe tap and
insert a Zerk fitting. Then give it a few shots of grease.
That's for the knee problem of course.
