Re: [HSS] Clutch Actuator

The tapered plug is simply that - a plug that you remove when you grease the

unit, not that it ever needs it, as the grease washes out with the clutch

oil that inevitably gets out past the bearing. I have never put grease in

here, as the bearing is adequately lubricated by the clutch fluid.
