  Q: How to Service and Repair a Release Bearing on Dodge Neon?

  A:

  Start by taking off the transaxle before working on the clutch release bearing. Grab the lever release with both hands by inserting your fingers into the pivot stud socket to draw the lever away from the spring clip without harming it. Be mindful not to injure the retention tabs on the bearing as you rise the fork and bearing thrust plate as a single piece from the bottom bracket. Don't take apart the sealed and filled bearing and under a light shove, it should turn with a slight drag from the lubricant and remain smooth. If the noise, tough movement or dry condition, means the bearings need to be changed. See the state of the pivot stud spring clips on the reverse side of the Clutch Fork and replace the fork if the clips appear broken or damaged. Before putting together the fork with the bearing, apply grease to the pivot ball pocket in the fork and to the fork arms. Check that the little pegs on the bearing go snugly over the fork arms. Lift the whole assembly onto the input shaft bearing retainer, slide the clutch fork onto the pivot ball and then fisher the transaxle group again.
