Default guide tube squeaking ?

I have a squeak when I press the clutch pedal all the way down. I did not remove the clutch cover but it certainly coming from there.

After doing a search, the guide tube is probably squeaking. To lube the guide tube should I remove the clutch?

Is it a long job to do? If so, it will be on my to do list for the winter

You could spray the guide tube with some lube with the lower bellhousing off.

If it's squeaking when you press and release the clutch it could be any number of things that are moving. Maybe the upper ball stud. Maybe the slave rod against the arm. Maybe the fingers on the pressure plate.

Default guide tube squeaking ? No it is the release bearing ..

Finally I took some times last week-end and I removed the clutch cover. And the noise is coming from the release bearing....

I also took a look at the clutch arm and I do not have the updated part so it looks like I will have to install a new clutch kit

Is it a DIY job ?

Yes... It's very much a DIY job. The hardest part is installing the new bearing (IMHO).

It's messy, it's heavy, and awkward (if you don't have a lift). But you can do it in your garage.

No lift. Doesn't seem to be much fun lying on my back

How many hours a shop can charge to do the job ?

Get the car up as high as you can. The higher you get it, the easier this job will be. Don't worry though, it's not difficult.
