We've all been in your shoes before, so the only laughter you'll hear is ask
we remember our first time of doing this same job... LOL! Oh yeah, that was
fun!
The bigger bearing (the throwout bearing) all you have to do is pull on that
fork right about where you see that bumpon the fork arm? There is a wire
holding it in there and it will release with no problems. Once you get it
off the fork, then you'll still have to press the old bearing off of the
collar and press the new bearing on there.
I have heard there is a way to press that other bearing out, but I've always
done the chisel method, which is a royal pain, especially when you scar up
the inside of that hole. There is supposed to be a way to remove it with
grease and pressure, but I never could get it to work correctly. I know
that it was mentioned earlier this year though, so will check throught the
archives for it!
Good luck!!!
Eric
ps... check your flywheel for little heat cracks too... if you have them,
definately get that sucker surfaced before reinstalling.. You won't regret
it!!
