Next, remove the clutch fork from the ballstud and withdraw the release bearing from the input shaft together with the help of the clutch fork. For examination, remove grease and dirt on the bearing using a piece of cloth; do not immerse it in any solvent because it is hermetically sealed for use. Swing the outer part of the bearing while applying force to center of it; if the bearing appears to be stiff or if it is producing unpleasant noises, it must be replaced. Since it is almost impossible to replace the release bearing, it is recommended that it should be changed every time the clutch parts are changed. For installation light coat of high temperature grease should be applied to the friction surface of release bearing, ballstud and input shaft bearing retainer and then simply reverse the steps of the removal procedures and install the clutch fork and bearing to the input shaft.
