Hdi clutch

[aneesh84]

I've had three hdi 110 clutch pedals drop by pulling release bearings out.. and all my slave cylinders survived without loosing any fluid at all.. xantia slave cylinder arent bolted but twist fitted to the gearbox... the other issue is space.. it is a stuggle as the ml box is a bit bigger then a be3 making a clutch in situ swap very challenging .. I have managed it by moving the box over but it was increadably tight.

Did you change the whole clutch kit each time or a new release bearing is usually good enough?

If you're going to all the aggro of pulling the box out, don't even think about not replacing the lot!!

I don't think any bits are available separately are they?

Certainly as I understand it, the release bearing is a fit once only device...

Full kit as it destroys the finger tips of the pressure release arms... the pull out is failure of the C snap ring on the release bearing because of weak pressure release springs. . The weight of heavy clutch action is masked by the hydraulic power of the hydraulic clutch operation...

be aware when fitting the clutch it is fitted like a conventional two piece clutch.. mate the box then through the starter motor aputure you reverse press the release arm to engage the release bearing... essential otherwise the release wont be connected and your clutch wont work... do not fit it like an xud where the release is already on the pressure plate .. I made that mistake.... dont ask! Lol
