Huh? Yes, The 'staple' on the new style (Defender style) throwout bearing is only needed until you get it in place.

I don't understand why you say this, with the engine & gearbox seperated, there's all the room needed to insert the friction plate centralizing plug, and bolt up the pressure plate.

When the gearbox is bolted back up, and the throwout is at rest, it's about an 1/8" away from the pressure plate.
Are you ceretain you have the correct throwout bearing? I have never seen the plastic one in a series truck.
