Do not go past the "0" freeplay range or you will wear the clutch very quickly. After the 0 point, there's a chance of the hydraulics always pushing on the clutch.

I believe Nachi makes the replacement exedy bearing also, come to think of it (I said NTK before). Probably a different manufacturer PN than the original Honda bearing.

Try bernardiparts.com if you want a discounted rate on a Honda labeled bearing. Though....their shipping rates are out of control, so you may end up saving nothing.

I wouldn't over think this if the car is just going to see regular street use. I've used the bearing that came with the kit for years and years without issue. I've only had one bearing from an Exedy kit start to make noise. It was on a K series...and the "tech" that installed it used anti sieze to lube the sliding surface. The pedal was very hard to move, and the clutch engaged slower and slower as the anti sieze turned into cement. So...that likely contributed to it. I had to re-open it all up, replace the bearing, sand down the scored up bearing guide sleeve, and use HT Urea grease to fix it.

Nachi part# is NP-55SCRN41P-6 and costs about $40 shipped on amazon, ebay and google. They also call it "OEM Part# 22810-P21-0030" which has an extra zero at the end for some reason.

Exedy, ACT is fine in my experience. Depends on what weight you want too.

Does a pipe NEED to be removed to remove the clutch?

Take a look at the ITR flywheel. I *think* its 14LB. Not sure which one is less expensive; ACT or ITR.

I reached out to exedy and they have informed me that the bearing they use is supplied by Hanzhou Trust auto bearing
Hangzhou Trust Auto Bearing Co,.Ltd - China

I think i'll pick up a koyo or nachi TOB on ebay unless one of those are supplied...

Maybe it was a special package that they put together for their store.

I haven't looked closely enough at the kits from rockauto, I guess. Maybe they come with the chinese bearing?
