To remove the component, first disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then remove the transmission. Next, push the clutch release arm forward and detach the bearing from the fork by turning the bearing assembly clockwise, ensuring the pin on the fork engages with the slot in the release bearing during installation. For inspection, hold the center of the bearing and rotate the outer portion while applying pressure; if it doesn't turn smoothly or is noisy, replace it. Wipe the bearing clean and check for damage, wear, and cracks, avoiding immersion in solvent as it is sealed for life. For installation, lightly lubricate the release fork and input shaft with high-temperature grease, filling the inner groove of the bearing with the same grease. Attach the release bearing to the clutch lever by turning counterclockwise, ensuring the pin on the fork engages with the slot in the release bearing ear, then install the transmission. Complete the installation by reversing the removal procedure and tightening all bolts to the specified torque.
