Honda 22810-PPT-003 Bearing, Clutch Release

Remove the transaxle. Pull the clutch release fork off the ballstud and slide the release bearing off the input shaft along with the release fork. Inspection: Wipe off the bearing with a clean rag and inspect it for damage, wear and cracks. Don't immerse the bearing in solvent - it's sealed for life and immersion in solvent will ruin it. Hold the center of the bearing and rotate the outer portion while applying pressure. If the bearing doesn't turn smoothly or if it's noisy or rough, replace it. Note: Considering the difficulty involved with replacing the release bearing, we recommend replacing the release bearing whenever the clutch components are replaced. Installation: Lightly lubricate the friction surfaces of the release bearing, ballstud and the sleeve of the input shaft bearing retainer with high-temperature grease. Install the release lever and bearing onto the input shaft. The remainder of installation is the reverse of removal.
