Thrust bearing

Hi, anyone any ideas if replacing a thrust bearing on a 1993 200tdi disco is expensive or time consuming?

nick8556:
Hello
Yes the thrust bearings are expensive to replace if you don't do it yourself,
if you are replacing the thrust bearing also replace the arm as well.
You can do both the these jobs by moving the gearbox backwards about six to eight inches and alittle struggling, if the cluth has not been done for a long time have this done at the sametime!!!

Good luck

Nick

Disco Inferno:
if your doing the thrust bearing do EVERTHING else inside which is replaceable, it'll save you a lot of time and money in the long run

So thats clutchcover , cover plate, crank shaft oil seal, clutch fork, and depending on its condition, the bracket and pin that the clutch fork sits on

don't forget to get a couple of new plastic clips which hold the push rod into place.

TIP - when your ready to fit the plastic clip, stick it in a mug of hot water for a wee while, far less likely to break.

Leigh:
I think I may have the same problem. What sort of cost in parts are to be expected for all that you have listed?

Cheers

Brilliant help chaps, might leave it untill the weather gets a bit more sunny and stops raining. It might also give me enough time to work out which is correct end of a spanner!!!!
