sprtkr1 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Was greasing throw out bearing on my 2008 cxu613. I had the clutch depressed with a tool specifically for that job to gain access to the throw out bearing grease fitting. I must not have set right this time because the tool slipped and allowed the clutch to release suddenly. When I reset the tool and looked at the bearing, the fitting had moved about 1 inch to the right. Have I broken something? Clutch seems to work as far as moving the release bearing back and forth on the shaft. Still seems to me like it shouldn't have rotated the housing with the fitting. Thanks for any ideas or info y'all may have on this numb skull move by me!

Challenger Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Did you have the grease gun hooked up when the tool slipped. Maybe you snapped the grease fitting off and it stuck to the throw out bearing with grease. I don't see the throw out bearing rotating anywhere being inside the fork.

sprtkr1 Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 No I didn't have the gun hooked up at the time. I don't see how it could've moved either. My only experience with transmissions is my 4 wheelers. Didn't know if big trucks had the same set up. I may have broken something. This truck has the clutch cable. Didn't know if that made a difference. Thanks for the info.

fjh Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Newer clutches have two zerks onr in the middle one at 4 oclock! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49470-throw-out-bearing-question/#findComment-367033 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprtkr1 Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 Thanks for the reply fjh. Good to know that. After cleaning off all of the grease, I found that it was impossible for the bearing to have moved in the forks, which is what I originally thought. For some reason I thought the zerk hung down straight. But it is at the 4 oclock position like you said. Just found out I need a new clutch so will just have everything replaced while it's torn down. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49470-throw-out-bearing-question/#findComment-367141 Share on other sites More sharing options...
