Replacing Thrust Bearing

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to replace the thrust bearing, and if possible, does anyone have a picture to show me exactly what I'm looking for? 
Thanks,
Nathan

Do you mean the thrust bearing in the clutch mechanism?
If so, you just press it off and press it on. Usually with a bit of ingenuity, you can do it in a biggish vice. Otherwise, off to a workshop - might cost $10.
If you mean those that support the crank, then that's a much bigger job. I'd suggest you get an engine manual.

When you buy a clutch kit, generally it contains a thrust bearing. Would be silly to not use it now, wouldn't it? hehehe

i *think* i know what you are on about....
have a look inside the bellhousing, and on the end of the clutch throw-out forks (or whatever they are called) there is a bearing (like a ring) that goes around the input shaft of the gearbox. In my W50 there was these two spring type clips that held the bearing and bearing shaft thingy in, so i undid those, and tapped the centre shaft out from the bearing. THen got the new bearing from my clutch kit and tapped it on until it was all the way down.
Piece of piss really!
