There's a spring clip [retainer] that fits inside grooves on the cast iron clutch fork. It's either a dealer or LMC-type item. (I forgot who I got mine from, but I bought 3 just so I'd always have a spare.) You use the tips of a needle-nose pliers to set the clip in the grooves. Should click right in. Then line up the clutch fork on the throw-out bearing and have the socket lined up on the pivot ball. A good bop! with a rubber mallet should get it on.
