Type 9 clutch release bearing removal

Is there a way of getting these off without breaking them
If not where is the place to get replacements?

Unless somebody can suggest how I stop oil leaking ot the speedo drive (and yes, resealed twice)?
TIA

IF oil is leaking from the speedo drive, then you have one (or maybe both) of two things wrong.
Either you speedo drive gear is damaged where it fits through and seals on the lip oil seal, OR, the lip oil seal is damaged. The other and ONLY other posibility is that the bearing hole that the speedo drive gear runs in is VERY worn but this is most unlikely and th8is would most likely be accompanied by a rather erratic speedo reading.

As for the clutch release bearing, that just requires a very sharp and STRONG pull to overcome the retaining clips that you cannot get at or see until it is off.




Enjoy.

I used a claw hammer (the claw bit )

Release bearing came away without breaking, but this is not gauaranteed
