Kia Spectra Release Bearing Parts Questions & Answers
- Q: How Do You Remove and Replace Clutch Disc,Release Bearing and Pressure Plate?A: To remove the clutch, the transaxle must be detached. Use a clutch alignment tool to support the clutch disc during removal and loosen the pressure plate-to-flywheel bolts in a criss-cross pattern. Check the flywheel and pressure plate for indexing marks and replace the bearings. Clean the machined surfaces with brake cleaner or acetone and install the new pilot bearing. Position the clutch disc and pressure plate against the flywheel, center the clutch disc, and tighten the bolts. Lubricate the release bearing and install it. Finally, reinstall the transaxle and other components.
- Q: How Should I Inspect and Install a Release Bearing and Clutch Fork?A: Wipe off the bearing with a clean rag and inspect it for damage, wear, and cracks. Do not immerse the bearing in solvent - it is 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 does not turn smoothly or if it is noisy or rough, replace it. Lightly lubricate the friction surfaces of the release bearing, ballstud, and the input shaft bearing retainer with high-temperature grease. Install the clutch fork and bearing onto the input shaft and the remainder of the installation is the reverse of removal.
