I picked up a Hydraulic TOB at Carlisle 2 weeks ago at a really good price. But looking at it I don't see anything that keeps it from rotating on the bearing retainer. It just says it is a tight fit when it presses on. Has anyone installed these that can verify that for me. Lou? :D

Thanks

Rick, there is a locating bracket that goes on the throwout bearing retainer.
At least on mine.
I just bought one from American Powertrain.
Looks like this:

My McLeod has nothing keeping it from rotating but the braided lines for bleeding and to the MC. Never had trouble with it in 15+ yrs of hard drivin.
