Yesterday I greased the clutch slave cylinder/pin assembly. I decided to pull the large rubber boot off of the bell housing and grease the target cup on the clutch fork. While doing so I inadvertantly pulled the fork loose. It snapped easily back into place and works fine, but I am curious as to how the fork is held at its pivot point? The Honda service manual was no help. Can anyone enlighten me?

 

Once snapped in the slave cylinder rod keeps it from moving out.

 

There's a half circle hinge point inside the housing. It's kind of spring loaded so the fork can snap in and out easy but has enough pressure to hold it there.

 

Thx

 

I actually thought I broke something the first time it popped off... I was able to put it back on in a few trys so I didn't worry long. Wheeeeeeewh!

 

Yeah, I had kind of a sick feeling when it happened.
