Thumbs down release bearing

Well my release bearing seized today on my 85 F-150 ,4.9 with the np 435 tranny.
Thought I would post to see if anybody had any advise / experience with this before I go parts shopping.
Thanks in advance , Mark.

Change the clutch and pressure plate too. It'll help keep the cuss words to a minimum.

I planned on that but was wandering how much trouble it is to change the rear main seal since I'll have it apart.
Also, any opinions/comments on NAPA versus advance clutch kits?
Thanks again,Mark.

I know this is a little off topic, but on my Mustang I keep having trouble with the release bearing. The factory one started squeeking after only like 30k, Then I replaced it with a motorsports one and it started squeeking (chirping) after like 25k.

Any recomendations on good suppliers of release bearings?
