Did you ask for the right year & engine size of Land Cruiser TO bearing?
The correct one to use comes from the '75-86 Landcruiser with the 6
cylinder engine. Here a reprint of the E-mail I sent to the list about 6
months ago. I used this type of bearing and it fit perfectly:
1. Clutch Release Bearing (or Throwout Bearing): The bearing to use is the
throwout bearing for a 1975-1986 Toyota Landcruiser. This bearing has a
Beck-Arnley/Worldparts part number of 062-0898. Other part numbers it is
listed under are "RCT52S", "RB-0203", and "046", but you can just ask for a
1975-86 Landcruiser Throwout bearing and you will get the right part. It
is a larger OD than the stock TR-6 T/O bearing, but the ID is the same, so
it presses onto the stock TR-6 carrier/sleeve. Shop around for the best
price - I was quoted from a low of $40 to a high of $80 for the exact same
bearing.
