RELEASE BEARING

[roverv8]

a little confused
is it right my release bearing should be connected to my clutch or should this be separate like most cars,

some are connected, sounds like you have the "Lift & Pull" type.... i hate doing clutches on this type, never sure the fork is correctly attached to the release bearing untill you try it

thats good so does the bearing have to be turned to a way where the fork has to meet it or just pop box back on and hope for the best,

you can kind of feel & see it for the last few inches, then its pot luck, some gearboxes did come with a inspection bung, others didnt, we used to drill a 20mm hole into the bell housing casing on the ones that didnt, and put a bung in place

thanks for your help, will have a look and see if theres a bung. if that fails its a drill bit,
