Lubrication of Corsa Clutch. - joe
Two year old 1.2lt 16 valve model, that has had a lot of town driving. Yes you've guessed it - the time has arrived, after approx. 20 years, when it is no longer possible to remove the cover plate at the base of the clutch bellhousing. Cable has been replaced. There is no judder or slip. No problem when engine is cold. When the engine is warm or hot the clutch action is 'graunchy', like walking on snow! With clutch fully down there is some squealing.Has anyone 'out there' got a second opinion as to where to drill a very small hole to allow a small amount of lubrication to be tried? Our reference points are - Release arm pivot and selector cover bolt. Best Regards to you all, Joe.

It sounds like the release bearing is going to disintegrate at any minute.
