Diagnostics of release bearing
Most often, motorists think about the diagnosis of the release bearing after the appearance of strange sounds in the clutch. So, if you are faced with a similar problem, note that noise can be induced both by bearing wear and faulty gearbox. To determine which of the components is in need of repair or replacement, depress the clutch pedal and listen. If after the committed action the noise has disappeared, you know that you have to repair the gearbox. But if the strange sound, on the contrary, has increased, you can confidently assert faulty release bearing.
Replacing release bearing
The service life of this part is about 150 thousand kilometers. However, if you prefer a sporty driving style, it is possible that the bearing replacement is required after 50 thousand kilometers. So, if the service life has expired or you have found a fault that can not be repaired, use the provided instructions on the part replacement:
Remove the gearbox.
Disengage the lock tips from the clutch.
Disconnect the clamp from the clutch.
Remove the bearing from the bush with the clutch.
Disconnect the bearing unbending the hooks.
Remove the bearing from the clutch.
Before installing the new part, inspect it (rotation should be free, and backlash absent).
Installing the new bearing on the coupling, make sure that the part of the inner ring is directed sideward.
