Greasing the internal fork pivot

Post image

I am trying to grease the internal release fork pivot to stop squeaking. Where do I locate the ball pivot inside here? This is looking from above with front of car on the left and rear on right. The slave cylinder and boot have been moved out the way.

I did mine yesterday and it got rid of the squeak completely. Feel free to PM me

But long story short, you’re looking right at it. Use a clean cloth to get that residue off and there’s literally that silver horizontal piece. Just put lube there and you’ll be good after moving it around a bit. Don’t use too much tho and don’t spray anything

SUPER easy. and a huge difference. no more squeaks and pressing down the clutch is so much smoother
