SERVICING THE RELEASE BEARING
(Clutch Removed)
Removal
(1) Support the release bearing in a vise or press
and carefully press out the release bearing sleeve.
(2) Position new bearing on end of sleeve and using
old bearing against the face of the new bearing, care-
fully press on bearing. Make certain bearing is seated
on flange of release bearing sleeve.
Exercise care when installing a new clutch release
bearing to avoid damaging the bearing race. Never
drive the bearing on the sleeve with a hammer.
Then place the bearings and sleeve in a vise and
press the new bearing on the sleeve (Fig. 9).
Turn the
bearings as they are pressed together.
The new bear-
ing must be flush with the shoulder of the release
bearing sleeve.
CLUTCH INSTALLATION
When installing the clutch, observe the following
precautions:
(1) Coat the clutch shaft pilot bushing (in end
of
crankshaft) with Multi-Mileage Lubricant (about a half
teaspoon). Place grease in radius at back of bushing.
(2) Clean the surface of the flywheel and pressure
plate thoroughly, with fine sandpaper or crocus cloth
making certain that all oil or grease has been re-
moved.
(3) Hold the clutch disc, pressure plate and cover
in mounting position, with the springs on the disc
damper facing away from the flywheel.
Do
not touch
disc facing, as clutch chatter may result.
Now, insert
C-360 Clutch Disc Aligning Tool through hub of disc
and into the pilot bushing (Fig. 10). (If Tool C-360 is
not available, use a spare transmission drive pinion
clutch shaft.)
