Abstract
A clutch release yoke for a clutch release bearing comprises a region of articulation by means of which said yoke is adapted to be pivotally operated in an operating plane under the control of a control arm, and an active region by means of which it is adapted to act axially in another plane, on the clutch release bearing. In accordance with the invention, the active region of the clutch release yoke is laterally open and consequently has an overall C-shaped configuration, which allows it to be engaged onto the clutch release bearing by simple transverse swinging thereof in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the release bearing. The clutch release yoke of the invention is particularly applicable to 'pulled' clutch release bearings which operate in traction.
