1. Attach a flexible hose and an injector needle to a grease gun. Fill the gun with Hi-Temp Urea Grease.

2. Raise the vehicle on a lift.

3. Slide back the release fork boot.

4. Position a flashlight and an inspection mirror so that you can see the release fork pivot bolt.

6. Reposition the release fork boot, and lower the vehicle.

7. Press the clutch pedal a few times to confirm the noise is gone.
