quicky!! how do i get the clutch release bearing off! & bk on
Turbo Mini Forums

i took a saw to an old vice today to make a drift to get the relase bearing off the plunger & the bugger wont shift, any ideas on what i can do, the bearing is slack & graunche's so gonna change it, its on a pre-a+, i understand theres two types, a self centring later type, are they interchangeable?

Isn't there a circlip type retaining ring on the release bearing?

Been a while since I looked at one in detail.

i thought there was a circlip/e-clip holding them on too, but again, fooking ages since i looked!

theres no circlip on mine, i got the plunger thing out of the frying pan casing by taking the cotter pin out & the release bearing is on the end of the plunger, seems to be an interfearance fit! i'll get some pics in about an hr, it'll explain better than i can type lol

Drive it off, some of the later-early type sit on a reduced diamter spigot that lets them float a bit, the early-early ones are an interference fit onto the plunger, just sit the bearing resting on top of a vice and drive the plunger out of it.

this is my type of plunger the chick at the petrol station said! oooooohh errr mrs!





i'll have another go with my vice handle drift & a 4lb lump hammer

i'm gonna make a tool to do this, i have the idea in my head but no materials kepp you chaps posted
