Mine had the same problem at 98,000 and 181,000 miles. I suspect the pilot bushing could be some of your problem.

yes, most likely dry pilot bushing. This should always be replaced with clutch job and I put a little antiseize in it. I am assuming you had flywheel turned as well. It is not the throwout bearing. Why, because it is a bearing that is loaded the same way every time you push in clutch pedal, so would make noise every time you used clutch, whereas the bushing has no moving parts, the input shaft just turns inside it.

Yes, the clutch throwout bearing is hydraulically operated.
Yes
I spent MOST of the day today under my 04 Frontier replacing the throwout bearing. Mine is the 4 cyl.It has one exhaust pipe and one cat in it.
A throw out bearing is the bearing in a manual transmission that helps to engage and to disengage the clutch.
The front wheel bearing assembly is not repairable. A new wheel bearing assembly is replaced as a complete unit. Your local auto parts store can supply you with a new bearing assembly.
THE BEARING ASSEMBLY IS NOT REMOVABLE FROM the hub. It's replaced as a unit.
have to take the transmission out and its behind the clutch slide it out and make sure you put the throwout bearing in the same way the old one comes out
Both are the same term for the same part.
Yes
You can't. They are not serviceable. They are replaced as a hub/bearing assembly.
you have to remove transmission to take out and replace throwout bearing
