you must remove the clutch hub (along with clutch plates etc) which will require a speciall puller...also, remove the front sprocket 9on the end of the motor crank), once they are both removed (the belt and all) you will have access to the bearing...
you have to remove transmission to take out and replace throwout bearing
Unfortunately, you have to remove the transmission.
It is probably the throw out bearing going bad. You have to remove the transmission from the bottom to replace it. Replace the clutch, pilot bearing, and throw out bearing and have the flywheel resurfaced.
You remove the transmission from the vehicle. The throw out bearing is the bearing around the shaft that goes through the flywheel when the transmission is installed. The bearing clips in easily and is held in place because it goes around the shaft, and the clutch release arm can only move in and out, so the bearing will never be displaced during typical use. Removing the transmission is a big job, and you might as well replace the clutch while you're in there, unless it's already new.
Take out the old one...then put a new one in.
clutch plate disc and throwout bearing
You have to be able to pull the old bearing and replace it with the input shaft in place (it takes a special puller and installer). Not being able to do that (like me), the transmission needs to be almost totally disassembled to remove the shaft/bearing from the case. There are clearance issues with the countershaft and mainshaft that cause this. If you go that way you still need a bearing splitter and press to get the bearing off and press the new one on. Because you have taken the front cover off the transmission, you will have to do some shimming between the case and outer bearing race.
In some cars, you can get the rear bearing by dropping the transmission. For the rest, no.
remove bar, chain there should be a small cover over the drive sprocket, held on woth a screw, remove cover, then there should be a screw or bolt holding the sprocket on, remove that, pull old sprocket off, replace it in reverse.
Just take the transmission off and the clutch will be exposed. Its that simple. Of course you need to remove the clutch cover, if any fingers are bent or broken, then replace the cover. While your at it replace the release bearing and pilot bearing.
You replace it. As long as you have the transmission out, you might as well put the clutch and pressure plate in also.
It slides over the transmission shaft that goes into the pilot bearing on the back of the motor. The transmission must come out and then you can access the slave cylinder which will be held on by a couple bolts. Once the transmission is out the slave cylinder (which most of the time comes with a new throw out bearing) will be easy to replace. Its not too bad of a job.
