It's the Throwout bearing you are talking about right? What the hell is a Clutch wheel? lol Or is is the Clutch DISK you are talking about?
either way, if it's the DISK, I would 100% machine the flywheel. Talk to anyone, when you replace the clutch, you machine the flywheel. Not only that, but you change the pressure plate as well.
This is what you do to ensure it will last.
I don't work at Ford or any dealership..and this is what I do to my own cars, it's "best practise"
And Jay...changing a clutch in the Focus..not that fun, I did it to mine, in my garage, on the floor..not a good time. The only hard part is lifting the stupid tranny back up there, the Focus tranny is SO DAMN HUGE!!
