Finally got my transmission buttoned up after replacing all the bearings in the tranny and t case. Hope I never have to that again.

Went with ford gray rustoleum engine paint looks good. I have to pickup the engine at the shop but can't do that till I move hopefully in a couple of weeks. Anyone know how to replace the throw out bearing on the pressure plate? Thanks for the words of encouragement.
