So how do you fix it without cutting like the dude in the other thread did?

Cutting is only required if you don't remove the transmission. If you're replacing the clutch you'll have access to the bolts so no cutting is needed.
So I could have a shop do this when I have the clutch replaced?

In theory yes, but you'd have to send the main bearing cap in (in a thread somewhere is info on it) to be machined for the new thrust washer set.
Could I buy new caps and have them machined ahead of time?
No you cant just change maincaps, they need to be align bored in the block.
Gotcha.
new or used? I paid around 60 each from FCP euro.
These are supposed to be new..they look new..but you never know
