Description: The release bearing plays a central role in the frictional connection between the engine and transmission. The resulting forces can cause it to wear out prematurely, so it must be replaced before the clutch is replaced. Premature wear becomes noticeable through squeaking noises when clutching. The thrust bearing should then be changed immediately. You can get high-quality replacements here.
The SKF company was founded in 1907 in Gothenburg, Sweden, by the inventor of the double-row self-aligning ball bearing, Sven Wingquist. It had already established itself on all five continents by 1920 and is now one of the market leaders in the production of various bearings as well as seals and lubrication systems.
