Abstract

See full text

A clutch release assembly includes a release fork with a counterbalance portion that causes the release fork to pivot into an assembly position. During assembly, the release fork is pivoted from the assembly position into an operating position. The release fork is mounted on a shaft, which is supported on a clutch housing. The release fork includes a center boss portion with an opening that receives the shaft. The release fork includes tines that extend outwardly from the center boss portion. The tines are positioned to engage a pair of release bearing pads when the release fork is in the operating position. The counterbalance portion holds the release fork in the assembly position. During the assembly, the tines are slid underneath the release bearing pads and then are pivoted into the operating position.
