Always... That's great advice Chris. 
That's the first thing I check and hope for, when I lose a clutch... 8^)

They are known for breaking, somebody should make a heavy duty release
bearing activator arm.
Does one exist? Maybe VW Motorsport.
There is plenty of room for a beefed up one, and I think it's a great
idea. It's a pain to peel the old green cap, and pressing one in, when
the trans is in the car.
