Message: [QUOTE="MeTo, post: 1513252, member: 23681"] How does one replace the clutch fork (clutch release lever) ball stud? I found one for $33 including shipping. I don't have the new one in hand yet. The ball stud doesn't appear to be threaded into the bell housing boss (web pics). It appears to be pressed in. I tried heating the boss and prying it out with a crow bar, no good. I don't want to pry harder and break the bell housing. I tried heating the boss and twisting the ball stud, again no good. The ball stud is tempered, so a vice-gripe or pipe wrench jaws doesn't bite very well. Any advice? Once again something which should be simple snowballs into a pain-in-the azz. [/QUOTE]
