Every GM throwout bearing I have seen has been a sealed tybe no provision for greasing/lubing it once it is installed. I really think what the book means is to put a liberal( like a teaspoon or less) amount on the clutch fork pivot ball to make the fork work back and forth more easily... Just use common sense here on what is a generous amount otherwise you are going to have a grease soaked clutch disc which WILL slip if it gets oil/grease on it. You also can put some grease on your hand and wipe the inside of the throwout bearing and also the input shaft collar sorta like putting on sun tan lotion---Just a little little bit don't go crazy with the grease--- Comp 387
