Installing new Throw Out bearing requried? I have a 2002 Camaro w/ 42K miles and will be replacing the Slave with a new GM unit, due to the original leaking.
New unit comes with the pilot bearing, does it need to be replaced?
I am not doing any clutch changes as it is running great with my set up currently.
If new throw out is required can it be removed without clutch removal? I assume not.
Just trying to save from doing extra work.

Probably not necessary but if your going to go ahead and replace the clutch then I would but then again I would probably replace everything on the first go around because I hate doing it again for something else that went wrong or is on the way out anyway.
If new throw out is required can it be removed without clutch removal? I assume not. Yes it can as it slides onto the input shaft of the transmission and the clutch and pressure plat are affixed to the flywheel.

I miss spoke / typed question was for the pilot bearing.
i am leaning towards doing it all and upgrading to an LS7 clutch set up while it is apart.
Plan is the following at the moment:
GM slave w/ speed bleeder
Tick shims (if required)
MGW short shifter
LS7 Clutch
Anti Venom mod
Tick Master (already installed)

I don’t launch it hard and have never pushed the stock clutch past its limits, think the LS7 unit will do me well.
Have only done 2 burn outs with her right before tires were replaced.
