Objective of release bearing Honda E
Let’s now look at the technical side, the release bearing is composed of two parts, a first fixed part that slides only when the stop is pulled, or pushed (determined by its type) and finally a rotating part that is composed of a bearing that will allow it to stay in contact with the mechanism and follow its rotation.
There are two distinct types of release bearing Honda E :
- Pulled release bearing
- Hydraulic release bearing
It is the most unconventional of the two types of release bearing . This one, compared with the hydraulic form, is operated by a mechanical pulling system that will release the clutch disc. In this situation, the release bearing must be mechanically fixed to the mechanism.
The hydraulic release bearing, although more complicated, is the version most used in modern automobiles. It is however more complex than the pulled release bearing. Indeed, it will be composed of a hydraulic tube that will receive the pressure right from the clutch pedal.
