Default TO bearing side pads

Have the clutch pack out of the car. Separated the TO bearing separated and one of the pad attached to the sides that the release arm rides on peeled away from the TO bearing housing.

Is this salvageable? if so whats the best way to reattach those?

if the rubber is not oil soaked,
I would clean the surfaces with some acetone,
then abrade them with 400 grit,
add some JB weld ,
and apply a clamp with not much pressure to hold the rubber in place,
then let stand for 24 hours at room temp,
NOTE once this part is installed it is held captive by the release arm and sees minimum movement

With the amount of effort required to get to it, I'd suggest calling 928 International and getting a rebuilt bearing. They have new pads made and installed on the original housing.

Thanks for the advise.

More fun to repair these things than pay someone to have done it for me!
