New member removing clutch bearing.
Posted: Tue May 31, 2016 3:33 pm
Hi All,
I'm a new member who has followed this site for years.
I don't have a Paso but I bought a left over 87 Alazzurra back in 1990 and still own it. I tried to find a Paso for a project but I couldn't find anything and bought an old monster. One day I'll find an unloved Paso.
Anyway the clutch throw out bearing on my Alazzurra failed so I JB welded a 3/8'' ? stud into the bearing and let it set over night. I put pushed some greasy paper into the bottom of the bearing hole first so I didn't glue the bearing to the piston.
I put a 25mm socket, a washer and nut onto the stud and when tightened the bearing pulled out easily.
It was kind of anticlimactic actually.
Off to the Skate Shop this morning.
I don't have a press. Do you think it will tap in with a socket if I freeze the bearing and heat the clutch cover a little?
Thanks for letting me join your forum. I find the genuine willingness to help and total lack of one upmanship on this site to be unique.
I apologize if someone has already posted this solution, I looked but didn't see it.
Jack
