How to remove and inspect the Clutch Release Bearing on Mazda 6?

To remove the transaxle, pull the clutch release fork off the ball-stud and slide the release bearing of the input shaft along with the release fork. Wipe off the bearing with a clean rag and inspect it for damage, wear, and cracks; do not immerse the bearing in solvent as it is sealed for life and immersion will ruin it. Hold the center of the bearing and rotate the outer portion while applying pressure; if the bearing does not turn smoothly or is noisy or rough, it should be replaced. Given the difficulty of replacing the release bearing, it is advisable to replace it whenever the clutch components are replaced. Lightly lubricate the friction surfaces of the release bearing, ball-stud, and input shaft bearing retainer with high-temperature grease, then install the release lever and bearing onto the input shaft. The remainder of the installation process is the reverse of the removal steps.
