Clutch Problems

Installed a new clutch on my 1988 F150 about 15k ago. The throw out bearing just started squealing. Anything I should know to prevent this before I reclutch the truck again. The last clutch was a new clutch from NAPA, manufactured by Zoom clutches. The truck has a 300 six with the Mazda five speed transmission. thanks

I have seen that happen a few times on these trucks. I don't know if it is the bearings napa is using or if there not being installed right. I use high temp silicone grease to lube the input shaft and haven't had any problems on the clutches i have done.
