Throwout bearing replacement?

Hey guys, I have been searching for awhile and havent been able to find too much info.. I have been dealing with a lot of clutch hydraulic issues and when all seemed fixed my throwout bearing gave out. I have recently replaced the slave cyl, clutch fork, and master cyl. Everything was perfect for about 2 weeks then the bearing came apart.

The other fixes were all pretty easy but I am looking for some advice on pulling the ZF5 or if maybe it can be done swapping the mounting bolts with longer ones and sliding it back with a jack? someone mentioned this to me but not sure if there is enough room?? Any advice will be appreciated.

There probably isn't enough room to slide it back. I'd just drop the trans. The ZFs aren't bad at all to drop out.

Rent a decent trans jack. The Hobo Freight variety is junk. Ask me how I know.
