Good news! I can't believe the P/P fingers just lost their spring. I've heard good things about Luk clutches.
I've also heard of hydraulic-ing out pilot bearings with grease. Haven't had to try it yet. When I pulled the engine out of my K10 last month, the pilot came out with my fingers. No doubt that would not have happened had I wrestled with it under the truck for only a clutch change.

Anyway, congrats on the sure fix.
