Typhon My slipper is messed up. . . Help!

[Freelander]

Ok.
Clutch was super loose.
Got it apart and the head of the adjustment screw was shorn off.

The special little bearing between spring and the head of the screw was grenaded.

Finally got it all apart. I am just guessing that without that little bearing I am going to break the next screw?
I picture it's job as preventing the screw from getting tighter or looser when the car is running.

I am asking because it sucked to get the thing apart last time and I can't find the maintenance kit ar310882 anywhere.

Like could I use any 2x5x2 bearing in there? Should I just use a washer, will that work? Bearing with washers on either side?

I found tiny thrust bearings. But I am not sure the size. The screw is an M2 I am pretty sure.
The o/d of the bearing has to fit inside the slipper where those things that grab the splines on the drive shaft are.

That's the screw.

So I ordered a thrust bearing 2.5x6x3 to go in there on top of the spring. I think it will work. I hope the i/d isn't too tight and the o/d works. I did measure but who knows.

That's the screw.

Yes and it's not M2, it's M2.5. The thrust bearing is 2.5x5. I doubt that 2.5x6 will fit.

I think just buy a rebuilt kit

I think just buy a rebuilt kit

They're on backorder everywhere. I've been trying but I've been told October.

Dang it.
Everything is out of stock. All the ara310949 and ar310882 everywhere it seems.
Whelp.
Maybe it'll fit. It was my best fit I could find. There's a local bearing company that has them. Should have it in 2 r 3 days.

 

[Freelander]

Arrived! It's a perfect fit. Hopefully it lasts a bit longer than the stock thrust bearing.

So 6mm worked. I put some white grease on the bearing. I wonder if I should use something thicker? Anyway. I put the loctite on the rear of the assembly this time instead of costing the screw like an idiot. I am convinced I filled the thrust bearing with loctite and completely screwed it last time.
*coating* the screw
