The original "peg nut" and lockwasher were pretty boogered up - it looked like someone had removed them with a hammer and punch. New-old-stock replacements at the bottom.

Oil was leaking from the clutch throw-out area, so the assembly was removed to rectify that. Little bits of metal is all that is left of the cage of the original throw-out bearing, the balls were just rolling around loose. The pushrod seal was the old sleeve type and the o-ring on the outer body was hard and worn.
