Re: Clutch Release Bearing

If the release bearing is noisy, but has just lost its lubricant, then it is possible to introduce some 3 in 1 PTFE spray lubricant with the bearing still in the car.
You can make up a tube with a right angle at the end that fits onto the red tube that comes with the aerosol can. Take off the boot on the release arm and aim the right-angled end at the join in the bearing casing. Then spray away... Note an LED headlight torch is a must for this!
I have been doing this for many years since I messed up and cleaned the bearing lubricant out by mistake. Each application lasts for many months/ several 1000 miles and the bearing stays silent.
If however the bearings are breaking up - then it's game over, and may the curse of Beelzebub be on the manufacturers
