Fix for Clutch throwout bearing howel?

[Zup]

Just finished with install of all new parts from MSA---
For a early 73 240Z:
Stock clutch
Pressure plate
Clutch collar
THROWOUT BEARING----
Dust boot
Clutch master, hose, and slave were replaced a few months previously with new parts. Worked fine until the clutch disk lining finally wore out and it would slip under acceleration.
A clutch disk alignment tool was used for the install.
Bearing howels when clutch pedal is pushed in----sometimes quite loud and annoying, sometimes not so loud.

Any fix short of taking it all down and redoing with a new bearing?

Dissappointedly!

Unfortunately no. How can you apply a fix when the part/area that needs fixing is completely covered by the bell housing?

It does seem odd that a new bearing would make noise.

It would not be the first new bearing that I have seen bad. You may want to also inspect the fork the bearing rides on along with the pivot. Either could be bent enough to put a side load on the bearing. I have replacements for both along with the bearing. I will install them as I put the motor back. I do not want to drop the transmission once I am back together.

Thanks for the replys---

I knew the answer-----wishful thinking??

I will reinspect the fork and pivot on disassembly. They looked fine.
I will also be looking for rough spots on the input shaft.
I suspect that I have been victimized by a "bad in the box" bearing as a7dz stated.
It does happen---but

WHY ME?
