<< D >> Clutch Release Bearing Disengagement

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Remove the service hole plug at the clutch housing.
    CAUTION: Do not insert the screwdriver before pushing the release fork to the "A" direction.
  2. Insert a flat-tipped screwdriver into space between the release bearing and the wedge collar while pushing the release fork to the "A" direction by hand slightly.
    CAUTION: If the screwdriver cannot be twisted easily (the release bearing cannot be disengaged), remove the screwdriver, and push the release fork to the "A" direction two or three times to try again. If the clutch release bearing is pried forcibly, it will be damaged.
  3. Disengage the wedge collar from the release bearing by using the flat-tipped screwdriver to pry gently (twisting the screwdriver handle 90 degree).
    NOTE: If the release bearing is disengaged, the release fork will move fully to the "B" direction via the return spring.
