Having some real issues trying to get the clutch release bar removed from the clutch arm.
I have removed the C-clips (which came off no problem) but cannot get the thing to budge. Have soaked it, heated it and still won’t move.
Anybody got any tips on what may do the job?
Also as I heated it to within a inch of its life the rubber grommets, plastic sleeves ect have been ruined, can you get repair kits for these parts?

Re: Clutch Release Arm Problems
A two arm puller worked for me.
The pars are available but not in a kit. I don't have ETKA now so cannot tell the partnrs for you. Two rubber and one plastic sleeve.

Thanks m8
Have you got any pictures of the type of puller you used?
Also I need the 2 x Circlips, the 2 x black seals and the plastic sleeve

http://www.partsbase.org" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for online parts diagram you are looking for clutch / kupplung diagram in part one engine it's towards the end of the engine section type 2 is the vehicle
brickwerks have the parts in stock
I have a specially made puller to do the job as I struggled with those I had to get any purchase and 30 years of brake fluid aided rust can be tough to budge, good rust penetrating fluid like plus gas or Rost off to loosen it, I don't use heat as hard to put any into the arm without heating the shaft
when fitting I do warm the eye of the the arm and a little copperslip on the shaft
