Clutch installs are pretty easy,Slide the alignment tool into the pilot bearing in the motor, spline the clutch on, put the pressure plate up and bolt it into place and remove alignment tool. Throwout bearing, goes on the little collar. the whole collar clips onto the fork after you slide the collar over the shaft! Hardest part of the job is gettin the tranny in and out by far!

I dont know what the centerforce looks like, Im just goin on basic clutch knowledge. Should be an O shaped bearing one side should be flat and the other should have a cruve in it to contact the pressure plate... Its prolly about An inch and a half across...Maybe

The CF DF clutch for LT1 has the throwout made into the center of the clutch at the factory. It's not a separate piece.
