Replacing the clutch release fork
The clutch release fork can be replaced without dismantling the clutch housing. Having unscrewed the two bolts securing the clutch slave cylinder, we take it to the side. Remove the rubber cover of the plug and remove it. We cut the ends of the new fork on a grinder or file along a plane like a wedge (see fig.). Illuminating the release bearing with a lamp through the hatch, put the plug in place, inserting its ends under the spring on the release bearing with a hook. We put in place the cover, the clutch cylinder and adjust the free play of the fork (4–5 mm).
