Clutch release bearing alignment.

[Marcus1991]

How does the clutch release bearing attach to the fork, I cant see a way of clipping it in, it just sits in. Does the bearing need to be aglined whilst the clutch pressure plate and bearing are on the car, and just put the gearbox in and line the fork up whilst putting the gearbox back on?

The bearing is part of the pressure plate, you bolt the clutch to the flywheel and when putting the box on line the clutch fork up so it goes behind the bearing

It'll only fit the one way anyway.

Some kits may have a slightly different looking bearing

My bearing is very slightly diffrent to the one you have pictured, my new one is exactly the same as my old one,



I just wanted to double check on how to do it. Don't wanna find out I've done it wrong and take it all apart again!

[Marcus1991]

am I right in thinking that the prongs on the bearing face the back of the car?

Just rotate the bearing so lugs are on the left, start fitting tranny, and feel the lever on, the plastic lugs help locate it..

cheers for all the help guys, its all lined up and I have a good pedal. Thanks again

I've got my car up and running this afternoon, but the revs and the speed are still the same as the xud box (i put a hdi box on xud), I changed the Speedo sensor over, but I also changed the Speedo pickup ring that goes around the driveshaft, due to the hdi one being knackered, could this be why the Speedo is wrong?
