How to remove, inspect, and install the release lever and bearing on 2005 through 2009 Toyota Tacoma?

To disconnect with the release cylinder one has to first get the transmission out and then free the release lever from the ballstud. Notice the wire retainer locks the fingers of the release lever then retract the bearing from the lever and slides off the input shaft being careful on how the release bearing and lever are seated before removal. Check the release lever boot for any signs of cracking or wearing and should it be worn out, replace it. See that wiring retainer in the lever; if it looks bent or worn, take it out and throw it away. For turning, grasp the outer portion of the bearing and rotate the center, applying pressure to inspect their functions; an unhealthy one must be replaced. Use a clean piece of cloth to wipe the bearing, and if possible do not immerse the bearing into the solvent to check for damages, scrapping, or crackage. To install, lubricate the clutch release lever at the specified locations with high temperature grease and if the old retainer was removed a new one should be fit. Grease the groove that fitted the release bearing which has been operated by the lever as well as the bearing holder fitted around the input shaft. Secure the release bearing to the release lever, you see the retainer clip is in proper engagement for it. Nons slip of the clutch release lever ball studs, feed the release lever through the boot and then the release bearing over the splines of the input shaft before squeezing the lever over the ball studs. Carry out checks to ensure that the release lever fully rotates without any hindrances and the release bearing moves smoothly on the splines of the input shaft. Coat lightly with high temperature grease the face of release bearing that is in contact with the pressure plate diaphragm fingers. To finish the installation reverse all the steps described under the removal procedure and finality tighten all transmission to engine bolts to the required torque.
