The bearings are on the inside of the clutch bell. There's an outer bearing, spacer and inner bearing. If you were to take the clutch bell off you would see the bearings.

ok well i noticed the bearings last night and when i slide the clutch bell on it seems to get tight when it is barely halfway on. is it better to change the whole clutch bell or just change the bearings.

just push them out, if there suck in there you might have to find something tha will fit in from the other end to push them out.

Swingline, order this kit from redcat 83003
http://www.redcatracing.com/83003.
You have to remove the engine, then unscew the allen screw at the end of the clutch bell. Carefully remove everything noting how it all came apart and reassemble. If your bearing came apart, like mine, the outer half was stuck to the bell and you can knock it out, mine was wedge, but the kit I think came w/ a new bell. I would go w/ aftermarket bearing. 5mm id, 11mm od and 4mm wide, I think as I have replaced this stuff on mine at 3/4gal of fuel. Now I have to do it again a 1.5gal, the bell is wobbly. This time I'm going w/ some good bearing.

I actually had ordered two kits, so I have an unopened one. Here's what ca get:
flywheel collet
flywheel
3 clutch shoes w/ spring
flywheel nut
clutch bell
2 bearings
3 small washers (spacers for the clutch shoe (go between flywheel and shoes on flywheel post)).
A few different size washers for spacing (remember or write down how yours came apart)
a black spacer/tube
and allen head screw
I would assemble it, check to make sure all looks well and di-assemble and put locktight on threads (removable type, thinks it red color)).
Also, go w/ aftermarket bearings
use locktight on engine mount/chassis screws once you paper test the gear mesh.
