Throw-out bearing replacement

[xena1]

I have pulled my AMC 232 i6 from my CJ and will be putting a 360 in it's place. This may sound silly, but can the throw-out bearing be pulled and replaced without pulling the bellhousing? I don't want to damage the spring by pulling the fork too far forward to release the clips. Thanks

Might be able to take the springs loose... might be a pain to try putting them back on though

Thanks, but was hoping to hear from someone who has changed bearing. I don't wish to have spring, and ball fall out because I moved fork too far forward.

Ive changed a few my friend , but i always remove the tranny, so the shaft is out of the way, yes the ball can fall out, thats why i said might be possible, but its a pain in the

I hope you figure it out man...

Well, ended up pulling bellhousing, not that big of a deal. That is the right way to get the throw-out bearing replaced. Thanks for the input.
