Clutch

I was attempting to fit a new bling pressure plate today on my 999s

and everything was going fine until i noticed that the new plate had a bearing in it but it did not have the centre piece that recieves the rod that goes through to the engine, i tried knocking out the one from the original one but it did not seem to want to move i was reluctant to give it to much wellie incase i damaged anything, my question is that does the centre piece on the original plate come out to put in the new one or do you have to buy a new one ,the shop i bought it from says that the old one should give it up but i did not want to push it to far incase i damaged it,
Any info would be gratefully recieved

Cheers

place a socket similar in size to the bearing on the under side and tap out the centre piece
it should let go.
but as you have already suggested just try to avoid removing the bearing.
not the end of the world if you do.
Im sure you will get it sorted
