davemar 16 Posted May 5, 2021 I'm just in the process of doing the clutch change on the car, and noticed the clutch fork arm (the one that slides the release bearing on the shaft) was very slack on the ball-joint. The plastic socket in the fork arm (that the ball-joint pops into) was very tired, so I've bought a new plastic socket. Trouble is I don't know how to secure the plastic part to the arm. There's a couple of little cylindrical lugs that go through a couple of holes (about 3-4mm dia) to locate it; but nothing to seemingly secure it place? Any ideas?

I was looking at this item as it looks like you're supposed to melt the pegs over like a plastic rivet. You can buy the whole assembly with the metal arm (Sasic brand) for not much more so i bought that... which broke when i tried to fit it on the ball joint, It's as if the plastic is too stiff on the replacements, unless I did something wrong? either that they are just crap. I ended up tapping M4 threads in my original one and mounting it to the metal arm with button head screws, It pops on the ball quite easily as its flexible.
