CAUTION: This hydraulic brearing does not have a
retraction mechanism and all measurments should be taken with the bearing
manually retracted. DO NOT OVERTRAVEL THE PISTON. The piston can be pushed
completely out of the bearing base and this will cause leakage of fluid and
possible damage to painted surfaces of the vehicle.
Installing the Hydraulic Bearing
With the bellhousing and clutch installed
measure the distance from the bellhousing face to the clutch fingers. Record
this number for later reference in setting the bearing clearance.
Remove the transmission bearing retainer bolt
from the lower-left side opposite the fork opening window of the bellhusing.
Replace it with the enclosed 5/16 or 3/8 stud as needed. Install a jam nut on the stud and tighten
against the retainer. The inlet and bleed fittings should be pointing towards
the fork opening on the bellhousing.
If you are using the optional remote bleed line
kit, replace the bleed fitting on the hydraulic housing with the fitting
supplied in the kit. Attach the bleed line to the fitting as it will be routed
through the fork hole in the bellhousing.
Secure the 1/8 pipe to #3 and bleed
fittings in the bearing assembly. The 1/8 pipe fitting should be located toward
the window of the housing when positioned over the bearing retainer. Use
of Teflon tape on the fittings is mandatory.
Slide the hydraulic release bearing over the
bearing retainer with the inlet and bleed fittings towards the fork opening in
the bellhousing and down over the stud installed in the retainer. The bearing
will float on this stud when the slave is operated.
Complete all the measurements ansd setup
as directed on the GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS page.
Installing the transmission
Lubricate the o-ring on the inside of the
bearing assembly base. Attach a #3 line to the inlet fitting and the
remote bleed line, if used. Install the required shims on the collar. Start the
bearing on the input collar until the o-ring contacts the collar. Start the
transmission into the bellhousing, routing the feed lines into the bellhousing
and through the fork hole. As you continue installing the transmission, the
bearing will be pushed back into position on the collar.
Now connect the hydraulic feed line and bleed
the system thoroughly.
If more or less travel is needed to disengage
the clutch assembly, adjust the shims and recheck the position of the bearing on
the transmission.
