NISSAN Clutch Release Bearing

hydraulic actuation self-centering maintenance-free

Product overview
The NISSAN clutch release bearing is a precision-engineered component designed for hydraulic clutch actuation systems in Nissan passenger and light commercial vehicles. Manufactured from case-hardened chromium steel, the bearing features a self-centering spherical contact face that maintains constant alignment with the diaphragm spring fingers during pedal travel. The unit is pre-greased and sealed with a high-temperature nitrile rubber lip seal, ensuring protection against clutch dust and thermal degradation. Designed to operate within a temperature range of -40°C to +150°C, this bearing provides reliable disengagement performance for the entire service life of the clutch assembly.

Self-centering design

Spherical contact geometry automatically aligns with the pressure plate diaphragm spring, eliminating edge loading and uneven wear.

Low friction actuation

Precision-ground raceways and optimized ball complement reduce pedal effort and improve clutch engagement feel.

Dust & heat resistant

Integral sealing system with dual-lip NBR construction prevents contamination from clutch debris and withstands high thermal loads.

Extended service life

Pre-lubricated with high-temperature grease and tested to withstand over 100,000 engagement cycles in real-world conditions.

Common technical inquiries

How to diagnose a failing clutch release bearing?

Listen for a chirping or grinding noise when the clutch pedal is partially depressed. Increased pedal vibration or difficulty engaging gears also indicates bearing wear. Measure axial play — if it exceeds 1.2 mm, replacement is recommended.

Can this bearing be used with dual-mass flywheel (DMF) systems?

Yes. The NISSAN release bearing is validated for DMF applications up to 0.8 mm axial oscillation. Ensure the clutch slave cylinder is in good condition to maintain correct hydraulic pressure.

What is the recommended torque for the fork pivot bolt?

Apply 25 Nm to the release fork pivot bolt. Use a thread-locking compound and ensure the guide tube is greased with Molykote G-n Plus prior to installation.

Is it necessary to replace the bearing with the clutch kit?

Yes, it is standard practice. Reusing a release bearing with a new pressure plate can cause uneven wear patterns and reduce service life by 40-60%. Always replace the bearing when servicing the clutch.

Installation

Apply force only to the outer ring during mounting. Use an appropriate press sleeve — never strike the bearing directly.

Cleanliness

Keep the guide tube and fork contacts clean. Contamination can lead to premature seal wear and bearing seizure.

Hydraulic system bleed

After installation, bleed the hydraulic system thoroughly. Air in the system can cause incomplete disengagement and excessive bearing load.

Storage

Store in original VCI packaging in a dry area with stable temperature. Avoid exposure to brake fluid or solvent vapors.
