How-to remove release bearing in 156 2.5 v6 clutch

Hi,

Im doing clutch on 156 2.5l V6 alfa and I want to know how can I remove release bearing(it's stuck to the pressure plate) so that I could fit it to the "gearbox main" rod. Im also curious if it is absolutely necessary to use centering tool when installing the clutch plate becouse I centered the clutch using metal rod.


Please help the newbie!

Thx.

You don't need to use a centering tool to line the clutch plate up, but the plate must be dead center. It is prudent to check that the clutch plate actually fits the splines of the input shaft before fitting it to the flywheel, saves embarrasment later. If the release bearing is stuck to the pressure plate then I hope you are replacing the whole clutch (bearing, pressure and friction plate) as the bearing should still be cliped onto the release arm in the bell housing, if it's stuck to the pressure plate then belt it off with a hammer, it's the only way, but like I said, you'll need a whole new clutch kit.
