David, after reading a bunch of stuff when I did my car nearly 15 years ago
I decided the known good on my car was as good as any.  Car had about
85,000 miles at the time, so no idea if it was factory original, but still
going strong 20,000 miles later.

I have a Stag with a borg and beck clutch. The incorrect bearing can make

bearing is shared with other Triumphs.

I periodically make videos on YouTube.  I made one on the release bearing
