I'm not sure if the which way to put this TOB on. I think the flat part goes towards the front of the motor. Its an exedy O.E. clutch kit for a KA. Thanks

Ok thanks. So then the flat side (pic 1) goes towards the rear of the car.

you need to remove the old throw out bearing sleeve and put it on the new throw out bearing. make sure you install the sleeve on the new throw out bearing exactly the same way as the old one,(the inner rotating assembly is the one that will touch the pressure plate`s fingers).also clean and dab a little bit of grease on the snout of the transmission where the throw out bearing slides into.

and BTW, that isnt an OEM bearing...

This is an OEM bearing, and is WAY better than that piece of crap exedy gives you.. I had one that started making a horrible grumbling noise after about 10 minutes of turning the car on..

The bearing he posted looks VERY similar to what you get new at a dealership...while it may not 'be' oem it's very close to OEM in style- - - I've personally never even seen one like you posted.

Brand new from Dealer:

Get one from NISSAN, the one you get with Excedy sucks, its making horrible noises after about 20k miles.

Get rid of your car if you cant figure it out by looking at damn throw out bearing. WTF! is this world coming to!?!?!
