After finally getting round to sorting my clutch out..

Found that the plunger was rusted into the bell housing. Sprayed gallons of wd40 to free it and finally got it out.

Question is.. do I grease it as I put it back in or will the grease mess up the flywheel and clutch components?

Thanks in advance
