Removal

2. Remove the clutch release bearing (1) from the tubular support on the front gearbox cover.
3. Move the clutch release fork (2) in the direction of arrow (A), and then remove it in the direction of arrow (B) from the ball bolt (3) on the clutch housing and remove it.
Examination
1. Compress and rotate the clutch release bearing at the same time.
2. If the bearing rotates erratically, install a new bearing.
3. Check sliding surfaces for wear, corrosion and damage.
Installation
1. Wipe the bearing surfaces and contact surfaces with a clean cloth and lubricate them with MOS2 – plastic molybdenum disulfide grease.
Caution: Do not apply too much grease so that when assembled, grease cannot get onto the friction surface.
2. Press the clutch release bearing (2) against the direction (B) onto the ball-head bolt (3) until the fork spring retaining clip is locked. Then move the fork against the direction of arrow (A) until the pressure rod of the distributor cylinder fits into the groove of the clutch release fork.
