pilot bearing seal?
today i replaced the clutch in my buddies 85, all the actual work took all of a half an hour but while it was apart we realized the clutch kit came with a pilot bearing but NOT a seal so i called and searched dealerships and every parts store around and no one could get a pilot bearing seal...
when i did my clutch last year i remember i had to order a pilot bearing and seal from atkins cuz i had teh same problem but since this time we were in a hurry i just loaded the bearing up with grease and put it back together without a seal
my question is where do u guys get your seals? and why the **** does everybody say these cars dont use a seal when i KNOW they do because i take a bad one out everytime i do a clutch

You don't need to disconnect the slave from the hose, Joe; just unbolt it from the bell housing and swing it up out of the way before you drop the tranny. It won't leak fluid unless the piston is really worn. Wrap it in a rag to be safe.
Just DON'T step on the clutch pedal while it's disconnected from the trans, or it'll shoot the piston into some dark corner of your garage and spray brake fluid all over the place.

You don't have to resurface the flywheel but if you want the most life and best operation of the clutch then it should be performed.
Resurfacing not only restores a new surface for proper gripping but restores the proper deck height for mounting the pressure plate.
If their a lot of "Heat" spots on the flywheel or heavy scoring then resurface it. Otherwise just scuff the surface with sandpaper, spray it clean with some brake cleaner and be done with it.
