We may have already discussed this, and I think maybe we have, but if your throw-out bearing is of the “self-aligning” type then a light preload is acceptable. The Federal Mogul #614038 that is in my car is clearly labeled as "sealed and self-aligning," so a little bit of preload is just fine. But I have a vague memory of you having a funky TOB that had zerk fittings on it. Maybe I'm imagining that.
