This part supersedes original equipment references: 000 254 32 08, 0002543208, 003 250 22 15, 0032502215 and 105 more. Matching these numbers confirms a like-for-like replacement with no loss of function. Schaeffler LuK is a recognised supplier of automotive replacement components to independent workshops and dealer networks across Europe.

release bearing buying guide
Why replace this part?
The clutch release bearing (throw-out bearing) is a ball bearing assembly that slides on the gearbox input shaft guide tube and, when the clutch pedal is pressed, contacts the clutch pressure plate diaphragm spring to disengage the clutch. Although it only contacts the pressure plate during clutch operation, its failure causes noise and complete loss of clutch function. It is always replaced as part of a complete clutch kit.
Signs you need a replacement
- Squealing, chirping, or grinding noise that changes with clutch pedal position
- noise disappears when clutch pedal is fully released or fully depressed
- clutch pedal vibration
- difficulty engaging gears due to incomplete clutch disengagement
- noise worsens progressively over weeks
When to replace
Always replace with the clutch disc and pressure plate — separating these items makes no economic sense given shared labour costs. Typically every 60,000–100,000 miles. Continuous-contact release bearings (common on VAG group vehicles) wear faster as they are always loaded.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this release bearing compatible with my car?
Use the vehicle selector at the top of the page to check compatibility. Enter your car's make, model, and engine — we'll confirm whether this release bearing fits. All fitment data is verified through TecDoc.
What specifications does this Schaeffler LuK release bearing have?
The package includes the release bearing as described in the specifications above. Check the "What's included" section for a full list of components. If mounting hardware or accessories are required, they will be listed separately.
What OE part numbers does this release bearing replace?
This release bearing replaces OE part numbers: 000 254 32 08, 003 250 22 15, 003 250 80 15, 10492338, 168 6642, 169 7725, 174 6150, 182 2487 and 27 more. Cross-reference these numbers with your vehicle's original part number to confirm compatibility.
How much does a release bearing cost?
This Schaeffler LuK release bearing is available for £114.99. Release bearing prices vary depending on brand, specifications, and vehicle compatibility. Schaeffler LuK parts offer a balance of quality and value, backed by our 14-day money-back guarantee.
How do I know when to replace my release bearing?
Listen for a squealing or rumbling noise that appears when the clutch pedal is depressed and disappears when released. This noise points specifically to the release (thrust) bearing and should not be ignored.
What tools do I need to replace a release bearing?
Tools needed: gearbox jack, circlip pliers (some designs), socket set, clutch input shaft grease. Difficulty: Professional recommended. Safety warning: Always replace the release (thrust) bearing whenever the clutch is replaced -- re-doing this job to replace only the bearing costs the same in labour as doing it right the first time.

Yes, this Schaeffler LuK release bearing is a direct replacement for OE part number 000 254 32 08. It is manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, ensuring proper fitment and performance. All cross-reference data is verified through TecDoc.

No, while both are release bearing parts, they are different products. The Schaeffler LuK 500 1171 10 has specific dimensions, material composition, and fitting requirements. The Schaeffler LuK 500 0001 10 may differ in dimensions, fitting position, or material composition.
