the only seal is a rubber seal to prevent the
oil from the system (clutch pedal tilton to bearing) not to flow out of the bearing, to push the bearing by pressing the pedal.
is there any other seal inside?

BEARING MAKES NOISE (NEW BEARING):
• Make sure it is the clutch bearing and not the input shaft bearing.
- Does the noise stop when the pedal is depressed?
- Does it only make noise when the pedal is depressed?
• Some new bearings will make noise when skidding on initial take-up. On a new bearing, the grease is not evenly
distributed, and the seals are stiff. As the bearing breaks in, this will usually go away

is there a bearing or a seal in the flat face front of the bearing, that pushes the spring?
