[QUOTE="Redordead89, post: 216089, member: 1590"] I'm not so sure that hole in the end of the rod is pre-drilled! If my memory serves me correct:pothead:, the rod I last renewed had no dimple or hole at all but as The emoji said my memory isn't peach perfect! Also the actuator arm seems a little worn on the push shoulder so this combined with the divot on the push rod would have combined to make the clutch tight, last push rod I pulled out of one was blue at the bearing end with almost no bearing left:jawdrop: Being that the hole is there on the end of the rod you could try a 2.5 or 3mm hss drill bit in the end of the rod and hopefully the drill will bite and dislodge the rod!
