   pull clutch arm back, then the bearing will 'clip' onto it. stick a tiny bit grease on the little clips to help hold it in place,

   on the back of the bearing it 2 tiny fragile plastic clips. You need to slide the bearing down the input shaft, move the fork arm so the 2 prongs point out from the box and try to locate the bearing onto the prongs. Slowly push it back into the box making sure its attached

   found out that we was using my R bearing and the box was a S box so it was the wrong bearing and it slippied off
