Yes sir, the release bearing is an accronim for throwout bearing or visa-versa. FSM is the manual of choice but I think most manuals are pretty specific when it comes to doing a clutch job. If your talking about going in there with out a manual, yea , it can be done but you miss a few items like specific areas to apply grease and torque specifications. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> It's still a pretty straight foreward fix.
