I'm thinking about starting to collect the parts I'll need to replace the clutch on the Younger Mrs S's "Rasputin", who is a 2013 flavour, 1.2 Pop.
I'll look at the input shaft bearing when the gearbox is off and change it if I have to... but regardless of whether the bearing is okay, I'm still inclined to replace the seal, due to its age.
Is the seal easy to replace from inside the clutch housing (i.e without separating the gearbox from the housing, which I think you would need to do when changing the bearing)? I think/recall seeing someone changed theirs (may have been a Stilo though) without any further dismantling, once the clutch housing was off the car.
Does anyone knoe the part number, so I can hunt down a replacement? Or is a Fiat OE one not too dear/may as well use one of those?
