W55-58 clutch release bearing

On the W55-58 gearboxes, is the clutch release bearing on a separate bearing carrier, or does the bearing run straight on the nose cone that bolts to the gearbox face?
Thanks 
Phil

Cool.
Are they the same as anything more common (like a W50 steelcase), its missing from mine.

Um, I seem to remember the sprinter one was similar/the same. I went through the dellow experience, & the one I eventually made them give me was exactly the same dimensions as the old sprinter one (in length & I'm 99% sure in ID).
Only difference of course was the mating points for the dellow clutch fork which you had to use, so buying both of them added a nice $130 or so on top of the price of the bellhousing, but anyway.....
EDIT: Infact I could measure up a sprinter one if you needed, I've still got one stashed away somewhere. I wouldn't be suprised if a W50 was similar too, I read somewhere that "all" toyota RWD boxes have the same length bellhousings/input shaft, & I know the T50 & W55 do, so the shaft the hub slides on would be the same length, & then so would the hubs. Only thing to check is the ID.

Thanks mate, i'll check it out. I think I may have one around somewhere. I reckon you'd be right about the length, just need to check the ID
Sounds like a typical dellows experience!

OK, here's the deal.
Sprinter is 33mm ID
Supra W55 is 35mm ID
Celica W50 is also 35mm ID, so now I have one!
Thanks for the offer to measure one up. Fortunately my neighbour had a W50 sitting around, and I found one of my old T50 ones too.
