How to remove the Clutch Fork and Release Bearing on Hyundai Excel?

To remove the transaxle, start by pulling the ends of the bearing retaining clip out of the release fork using pliers. Then, carefully remove the bearing from the clutch housing, being mindful of the retaining spring. If the bearing is not turning smoothly or is noisy, it should be replaced. If reusing the old bearing, wipe it clean with a rag, but avoid immersing it in solvent. Check the release fork ends for excessive wear and replace if necessary. For 1999 and earlier models, drive out the spring pins with a pin punch and hammer, then remove the fork, spring, and spacers. For installation, lubricate the release shaft bore in the clutch housing with high temperature grease and slide the shaft partially into the housing. Place the spacers, spring, and fork in position, then slide the shaft through and align the spring pin holes. Insert new spring pins. On 2000 and later models, lubricate the fork ball stud and fork. Lubricate the release fork ends and pack the inner groove of the release bearing with high-temperature grease. Position the bearing against the release fork and install the retaining clip securely. Finally, reinstall the transaxle.

Hyundai Excel Release Bearing

Hyundai Excel Release Bearing lets the driver separate engine torque from the gearbox quickly so gear changes feel smooth and quiet. Located on the clutch housing, this Hyundai Release Bearing slides along a hollow shaft and presses the pressure plate springs the instant the pedal moves, interrupting power flow until the pedal comes back up. Older cable operated setups and later hydraulic linkages both use the same basic sliding mechanism. The cable style can suffer if the cable gets misadjusted, while the hydraulic style relies on fluid pressure, making the main difference the method that moves the Excel Release Bearing toward the spring fingers. Regardless of style, a healthy Release Bearing stays lubricated, holds tight clearances in its rollers and keeps pedal feel light. Wear, dirt or heat can loosen those rollers, create rattles, vibration and stiff action that make shifting troublesome. When symptoms appear, the factory thickness Release Bearing should be fitted to ensure even engagement of the clutch and restore the original driving feel of the Hyundai Excel, giving drivers peace of mind.

If you are looking for affordable high-quality OEM Hyundai Excel Release Bearing, then you have come to the prime place. Our website provides a large amount of genuine Hyundai Excel Release Bearing at unbeatable prices. All our parts come backed with the manufacturer's warranty.
