   As above i am realy stugling on how to fit the thrust bearing onto the forks in the gearbox. I did a search for this and only found that it clips onto place.
   
   I cant find anyway that it clips on. Anyone know how it fits on and am i missing some clips, pictures aswell would be really good.
   
   Thanks

   From my knowledge you need a tool to align it in place, you can do it without but its a mission. Iv never done it myself but watched my bro do mine and mine was a bitch because the tool busted. Its a weird plactic thing with a thread go through it and as you tighten it the plastic opens out and hold the bearing is place.

   Hi,
   
   Move the clutch lever so that the forks are towards the pressure plate and thread the release bearing arm lugs over the forks.
   
   There is a guide in the Premium Members section.
