Subject:Re: Clutch Release Shaft Removal

Ken, removing that 'pivot bolt' didn't help the possibility of getting
the shaft out.  Looks like all the bushings and seals on the clutch
lever side need to come out, so I decided there isn't enough play to
warrant doing it.  The forks don't show much wear either.  I was going
to remove the shaft to clean it all and regrease (MoS2 or lithium?).
New release bearing & clips, rear oil seal, guide sleeve looks fine, and
that segment looks like it should be ready to go.
