When should this part be replaced?

The release bearing is loaded when the clutch is operated. Due to age, wear and prolonged use, the bearing may begin to rotate roughly or develop play.

Inspect the release bearing in the event of:

• Squeaking or whistling noise when operating the clutch

• Grinding or rattling noise when pressing the clutch pedal

• A bearing that rotates heavily or unevenly

• Noticeable play in the bearing

• Visible damage or wear

• Clutch removal for maintenance or rebuilding

A noise when operating the clutch is not always caused by the release bearing. Therefore, also inspect the other clutch components and the release mechanism.

Installation information

The release bearing is located at the clutch and forms part of the release mechanism.

During this rebuild, the original release bearing housing is retained.

The existing bearing must be removed from the housing. The new bearing and bushing are then installed.

During installation, pay attention to the following points:

• Clean the original release bearing housing thoroughly.

• Inspect the housing for damage and excessive wear.

• Inspect the release mechanism for wear.

• Inspect the other clutch components when the clutch is disassembled.

• Install the new bearing and bushing straight and correctly in the housing.

• After installation, check that the release bearing can move freely.
