Need help with installing release bearing
Need help with installing the new release/throwout bearing on my 91 clutch. I know I should know how to do this, but I can seem to figure out the order of all these little clips. I don't see it in the manual or on PET. It looks like it goes on the bearing in following order:
Clutch arm
Thin ring 1
Star ring
Thin ring 2
Pressure plate
Retaining ring
C-clip
It's that second thin ring that I'm not sure where it goes. Anyone have an exploded diagram or know the precise order?

Clutch pack is now in. Starter is back in. Just a few more things to tidy up before Thursday's beer night. I should be able to dive the car there assuming I didn't screw anything up. It's WAY past my bedtime, so there's a good chance I messed something up. I'll look at it tomorrow after work.
