  Q: What are the methods to access the clutch release bearing and what should be considered during its maintenance on Volvo V70?

  A:

  Access to the clutch release bearing may be gained in one of two ways. Either by removing the engine/transmission assembly and then separating the transmission from the engine, or by leaving the engine in the car and removing the transmission independently. The release bearing and slave cylinder are combined into one unit and cannot be separated. Check the bearing for smoothness of operation, renewing it if there is any roughness or harshness as it is spun. It is advisable to renew the bearing during a clutch overhaul, regardless of its apparent condition, due to the significant dismantling work required to access it.
