How to remove the clutch release bearing?

Take out the transmission to remove the clutch release bearing. Once you remove the transmission, unclip the release bearing from the release arm and remove it. It is recommended to replace the release bearing regardless of its condition due to the effort required to access it. During inspection, ensure that the contact surface of the bearing rotates smoothly and quietly. Be sure to check that the surface is smooth and unworn and it replace if there is any damage. When refitting, apply a small amount of molybdenum disulphide grease to the release bearing contact points on the release arm and then reattach the transmission.
