Hi people

I'm replacing my clutch on saturday, and will be doing the clutch release bearing at the same time. How does it come off the flywheel cover, and how do I replace it? Its a verto clutch.

thanks very much in advance

Tom

Fortunately a verto is slightly easier than a diaphragm...

I'm not sure you even have to remove the plunger from the bell housing..

Here's what the manual says...

it's really simple, did one the other day when fitting the replacement engine! The o ring just comes off with a screwdriver and then you lift it off! replace it and the put the o ring back on! bob's your uncle! :cheese:

Sorry to bring this thread back up but how tight is the fit between the release eating and the plunger because I can rotate it about 20 degreese?
