Hays offers upgraded release bearing kits for your favorite factory hydraulic equipped car along with applications to convert from a mechanical-style to hydraulic-style release bearing. Typically, this hydraulic conversion offers easier pedal effort over a mechanical release bearing. Our bearing kits offer full adjustability, providing an easy setup with most single or dual disc clutches along with reduced pedal effort.
Hays release bearings are a floating design and feature large O-rings and PTFE backup rings in the grooves to help eliminate leakage and offer a long service life. A snap ring on the front of the piston prevents over travel and keeps from pushing the bearing off the sleeve. The sealed bearing snaps in place and is easily serviceable. Our release bearing kits include bearing assembly, bearing retainer (where required), mounting hardware, adjustment shims, and -3AN feed line.
