    Ryder you have not thought this through. Dont listen to the self proclaimed Mr Fixits without questioning. You state you have a squeeling sound? You state that when you put your foot on the clutch the sound goes away? A clutch release bearing does NOTHING. Until you press the clutch...

    Spyderman. The bang you hear might be the layshaft exploding out from your gearbox if you use 2nd!!! For christ sake do the accelerating in 4th gear HR only!!! The engine power is the same no matter what gear you are in and that is what will free your clutch plate. Using a lower...

    Best make that a copper mallet! Carefull when you use a hammer to re assemble it. I have not known a successfull re assembly just using hammers. Every time you hit a cup you dislodge the needle rollers. They then turn and sit against the end of the spider and you can never close the cups far...
