Throwout bearing install

Hey i've looked around to find proper way to install the throwout bearing on my t5 but haven't had much luck. I can get it on but not happy with how it sits if i wiggle it. A bit it falls off. How tight should it be on the fork?

Had it the wrong way but the bearing slightly hits the fork when you spin in now without pressure on the bearing

It doesn't really fit on the fork tight at all. Will fall off with the slightest provocation.

However, once the nose of the transmission gets stabbed through it, it can't go ANYWHERE. It's locked in place.



Just make sure you don't make this mistake.
