Due to being a Dual Mass Flywheel, the center kind of floats on the entire assembly and the part you would need to resurface is riveted on. The center part rotates clockwise/counterclockwise to some degree enable it to absorb the clutch engagement, theoretically inducing slip without slipping the clutch. If you are goign to replace just the throw out bearing get the tsk sleeve kit from Fred Beans. Better safe than sorry.

I actually bought this one, http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=3185

 

At the time it rang up $119 about a month ago! Might be cheaper in store than online.

 

I read some horror stories of bolt joint bolts stripping out and leaking half shaft seals so I opted to leave mine in the whole time!

4) Is it not possible to use one or two floor jacks to slide the tranny back?

I recommend if you have a Harbor freight in the area a floor tranny jack. I got mine from them for $119 and it was probably the best tool that was worth it's money ever.

Nice videos, I wish you did the videos 3 weeks sooner!! My TOB with 73K miles would not spin unless pressure was constantly applied to turn it!
