throw out bearing removal
this is impossible! we cant get the pivot arm out. the bell housing blocks us from hammering away to knock it out so we can replace the throw bearing. any suggestions

My first clutch I changed, the thing popped right off. The second clutch I changed (exedy S1) it didn't. Spent 3 hours with dremel extension and carbide bit cutting the retainer clip that locks. Need to find the thinnest place on it to cut through it. It's a pain doing it through a 1.5 inch hole. Were goggles and a headlamp

... or maybe I misunderstood. If you really can't get the leaverage to get it moving, you have to get creative with what you have. I started it with a socket extention and a dead blow hammer. Then continued knocking at it with long needle nose pliers.

Man, I have never had that problem. I would do what some others have suggested. Hammer it back down and put grease/lube all over that opening and on the metal rod. Then try moving it up. If that doesn't do it, a small torch with some heat on the opening. GL
