Removal Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Remove the driveline support assembly and the transaxle from the vehicle (with the clutch actuator cylinder). Refer to DRIVELINE SUPPORT ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) or DRIVELINE SUPPORT ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) in Propeller Shaft.
  2. Remove the clutch release bearing.

    Rotate the bearing in either direction.

    The compression spring load will push the release bearing off the end of the clutch actuator cylinder.
