Removing the transaxle requires a special engine support beam, a telescoping transaxle stand, a hydraulic hoist, and an engine hoist, making it challenging for most home mechanics to access the clutch release bearing through the standard procedure. An alternative method involves removing the engine, transaxle, and cradle as a single assembly, which does not necessitate the special engine support beam or the telescoping transaxle stand, although the hydraulic hoist and engine hoist are still required. After detaching the engine/transaxle/cradle assembly from the vehicle, the transaxle can be disconnected from the engine to access the clutch release bearing. To remove the bearing, first detach it from the clutch fork shaft assembly, then hold the center and spin the outer portion; if it does not turn smoothly or is noisy, it should be replaced. Inspect the bearing for damage, wear, and cracks, and clean it without using solvent to avoid seal damage. For installation, lubricate the clutch fork pads with white lithium grease before placing the release bearing, ensuring the recesses in the bearing are also packed with grease. Finally, install the release bearing on the retainer, ensuring the fork tangs fit into the bearing groove, and then reinstall the transaxle, taking care not to move the clutch lever toward the flywheel until the transaxle is securely bolted to the engine to prevent damage.

To pull out the clutch release bearing, you should first take off the negative terminal of the battery and on the car models with the Delco Loe II audio system, the lockout should be turned off. Thereafter, pull out the under-dash panel and get rid of the clutch master cylinder pushrod connected to the clutch pedal pin. After that, unbolt the transaxle and take the clutch release bearing off the clutch fork, if it is to be reused, then orient one side of the clutch release bearing as per the other side of the release fork by applying a marker. Remove the retaining spring and do not immerse the bearing in the solvent while checking its free rotation, damage or wear. For installation, the ends of the clutch fork shall be lightly lubricated using white lithium-base grease while the inner groove of the bearing must also be packed with the same grease. Fit the release bearing onto the transaxle retainer such that the fork tangs go into the bearing groove and the marked pads come in contact with the fork ends then fit the retaining spring. Reattach the transaxle, keeping the clutch fork in place until the bolts to the engine are put in; reconnect the clutch master cylinder pushrod, put the under-dash cover back in place and reconnect the negative battery terminal. Last but not least, the manner of the clutch has to be examined.
