Bryan,
That adjustment process seems to be a lot of effort and nuisance.
McLeod offers 2 types of HTOB; the 1300 bolt-on, and the 1400 slip-on. I purchased the
1300 series and mounted it on a Toploader transmission. The product description for the 1300 series states the bearing will always touch the pressure plate fingers, without exerting pressure.
After I mounted the HTOB to the Toploader, I connected the wet lines to a bench-mounted Girling master cylinder which enabled me to measure the excursion of the throwout bearing while I operated the master cylinder's piston rod. It became apparent the bearing's face would always remain in contact with the pressure plate fingers. The bearing retracts only by the amount of pressure plate finger movement, when full clutch engagement has been reached.
I hope this design will eliminate the adjustment PITA you described.
David
