Most throwout bearings will squeal when they,re on the outs....readjust your clutch....use MTL in the chaincase. (assuming you have an sealed case??)

What kinda primary are you using??...your throwout depends on the correct level of gear oil in your tranny also...

Is this for your 53pan?
What year and model are we talking about?
Why do you suspect the throw out bearing?

The squeal is most likely the throw-out bearing.  It's an easy fix.  Only have to remove the kicker cover to gain access.  The grabbing clutch is most likely a dirty gummed up clutch.  Disassemble the clutch.  Clean all the plates (frictions and steels) in brake clean.  Use some emory paper to scuff up the suface of the steels.  You don't want shiney polished steels.
