[ihc] Re: Squealing Glessie

---First, My Scout didn't come to me with a greasable t-out set-up, it came 
with a normal collar and a greasable bearing. I turned around and drilled 
the collar when I did the lift, motor and trans mounts.

---One problem I had in the past was mostly due to the condition of the body 
mounts and bushings. Not saying uyour is in bad conditiohn, but maybe, just 
maybe the clutch has been replaced (as you said) and the actuator rod was 
not turned out. What will happen then, is the throwout bearing will be 
pushed into the fingers/levers on the pressure plate and if new throwout 
bearing, will be hard to turn, resulting in the bolts on the fingers being 
worn down.

---Check the gap between the fingers and the t-out bearing, IIRC it should 
be roughly 3/32". Maybe the bearing is lightly rubbing the fingers and 
causing the squeak. Any squeek that is caused by a worn throw-out bearing 
will lessen when you depress the pedal, not get louder... at least in my 
experiences.

---Thank you,
