OK, I rang Hona before and they said that the UREA grease is now discontinued.

Will white lithium grease suffice?

Get wheel bearing grease

Ok thanks, apparently lithium grease is used for cv and wheel bearings so I'll get some of that tomorrow!

typical lithium grease is white.
Honda's urea grease is green.
i saw Shell's high temp grease - and it looked very similar to Honda's.

anyway - i bought mine from US:
Honda Super High Temperature Urea Grease P/N 08798-9002

OK, I managed to fget this job done today. Really easy to be honest. I was really worried about pulling the fork off it's pivot but to my surprise it's really easy. Once you've take the slave clinder off, just tug at the fork and it 'pops' out if it's mounting. I used a 3" screw and put lithium grease on it and then smeared it all over the pivot point on the fork. I then polished the 'cup' of the fork using a grinding stone as it was rather rough. I also took the 'ball' off the slave cylinder piston and put it into my drill and sanded it down until it was polished. Applied more lithium grease and put it all together. Very easy job, even for the less confident person. Anyway, a picture is worth a thousand words! (sorry about the quality, forgot my camera so had to use my phone -

Once the slave cylinder and rbber boot has been removed you can see the fork protruding from the hole in the bell housing. Just give it a tug and it will come out of it's 'hold'. It will look like this (you can just see the Toda clutch logo!) -


The shiny part in the photo is where the grease shoulde applied to. You can see that there is no grease on it at all!


After a polish with a grinding stone. Grease applied to pivot.



End of the slave cylinder which comes off with a gentle pull.



'Ball' in the drill ready for a sanding. You may just be able to see the nipple on it which was sanded down.



As said, very easy. Hardest part was getting the slave cylinder back on as it wanted to push against the fork before I had put the bolts in.

I hope that helps somebody!

looks like it's best to grease this pivot every clutch change - since the gear is off and the pivot is accessible from inside the bell.

I did this a couple of years back and it's been fine since. Well worth doing if you have a creaking clutch pedal.

I hope those are gloves or have you got some strange hand thing going on there ......

Itchy Dick

Gloves!!

Thread resurrection : I did the slave cylinder pin but didn't have the balls to pull on the fork to hard? Just pull it straight down?
Cheers!
