Removing clutch cover and release fork, HELP!

[dandan]

Hi all,

Im in a bit of a rush here, as someone wants to pick up my clutch tomorrow, i\'ve got the plate off, and looking into the bell housing all you can see is the clutch cover:



Now the manual thing I have says simply remove release fork by undoing bolts then release the clutch cover, but the two bolts for the release fork are BEHIND the clutch cover, hidden in the housing!


(lower bolt for release fork)


(upper bolt)

How the hell do i get this out? The clutch cover will not simply pull out, it looks to be slotted into the release fork, so the release fork needs to come out first but there is no access! Can I unhook the clutch cover from the centre bearing somehow? Can someone tell me what im obviously missing please, I really need to get this off!
You can call me on 07779 599604 anytime if you think you could talk it through more easily, or reply on here.

It\'s worth a pint at rotorstock at the very least!

As you look from the front you will see a retaining ring in the centre. (it\'s one of the shiney rings in your first photo. Unclip that and you should be able to pull the cover off of the bearing. Then it\'s an easy enough job to remove the release fork and get the bearing off too.

nice one i wasnt sure if i should mess with that or not, best to check.
So the bit with 6 or 8 little shiny clip hooks on it right?
i\'ll give it a crack
