hands down the longest lasting clutchbell bearing ever is peters (tko) "special" clutch bell bearings

with some clutch systems bearing wear is a thing of the past

I've been using the TKO "Special" bearings and have not had a failure yet in a couple gallons. Remove, wipe clean and drop some bearing oil on the seal. Re-install and forget about it.

Ok, seems pretty unanimous, tko special bearings are where it's at.

Where do I get bearing oil? And it's just a drop to the seal and that's it?

I'd rather spend a bit more now on a 10 pack, then have to buy 10 - 10 packs.

Thanks to everyone for chiming in.
