Release bearing is also called the throwout bearing located within the clutch assembly/tranny input shaft-You have to drop the tranny to get to it-

Twist release bearing and carrier assembly until preload spring pushes bearing assembly from slave cylinder. See Fig. 8 . Remove retainer ring.

NOTE:
Use only lithium base grease on release bearing. DO NOT use petroleum base lubricants.
