Austin Seven Clutch Release Bearing Lubrication (Late Models)


The clutch release bearing assembly should be lubricated weekly or before an outing for cars used occasionally. Only a couple of drops of a  reasonable heavy grade oil (40 is what I use in Australia) is required. Care should be taken to ensure the lubricating tube is not blocked. It is also a good idea to cover this opening to keep road dirt out. I use a cut off rubber bung for this purpose.
