Hello James,
I am puzzled as to why you would just want to change the throwout bearing and not the whole clutch assembly. It's the same amount of work.
The answer to your question would be ,you would have to remove the drive shaft, then the transmission, then the throwout bearing ,then the preasure plate and clutch. If you decide to go all the way, you should resurface your flywheel. This is an easier job with rear wheel vehicles then front wheel drive. Please let me know how you made out,GOOD LUCK.
agreed you would have to remove, or "drop" the transmission to expose the clutch where the throwout bearing is located. The only reason i would recommend that you don't also replace the clutch is if it is still service able, ie. there is still about 50% of useable material on the clutch plate itself.
On another note, you would not need to remove the clutch or the flywheel as these are not directly mounted to the clutch plate, but rather "slips" over the input shaft of the transmission. When you get the part you will see what you need to do, since this job is not too intense once the transmission is out of the truck/ car.
As for rear wheel vs. front wheel drive, I find most smaller front wheel drive cars are easiest, but trucks and larger rear wheel drive cars can be a task. the whole thing can be done in a weekend if you have the dedication and the right tools.
