Is this clutch bearing defective?

[IamScotticus]

this is a CRB for a Ford Merkur or 2000, whatever..

Supposed to be the thing for the T-9.

It appears the inner sleeve is off center.

Yes, there is rust,  but otherwise,  is this CRB usable?

the spare I have (new)  doesn't have that slop

it's out, and they're cheap.......

IMO Cost benefit analysis isn't there to try to reuse any questionable part.

Its a new part, I neglected so it got rust on it.

 

Anyone have a Ford part number?  none on the item.  Box is not Ford.

On the subject of release bearings,

When I set up my cable play, I have the option of preloading the bearing.  This has been discussed elsewhere,  with the opinion that keeping a light contact with the splines, thus keeping the bearing moving,  helps reduce bearing face wear on the take-up.

 

Any experience with this?

T-9 to Xflow

I had cable with my T-3.  I left it loose, basically just the weight of the pedal when at rest

 

it may also depend on pedal height you want
