lubricating clutch release arm

Hi all , 
the clutch pedal on my mg tf is quite stiff so i think its time to apply some lubricant to the clutch release arm . Whats the best way to gain access to the arm ?  Through the engine inspection cover or underneath the car ? 

many thanks 

From the top. Remover the engine cover & dribble some machine oil onto the the operating shaft, I use the same oil as I use on my slide ways on my lathe, 3in1 is fine, much more viscous & it won’t penetrate.
Whenever I’m in the engine compartment il give it a squeg although you may be fortunate in having an oil nipple on the end. These are after market parts * & certainly worth fitting if you have cause to have the gearbox out.
* did some of the later tf’s have these, I don’t recall?

Thanks for your reply , much appreciated

I read every post on here and devour the information...so guess what I will be doing next time I have the engine cover off...

Long long ago in a galaxy far far away, a clever chap devised a clutch arm lubrication system.
Basically some oil soaked fabric in convoluted plastic trunking.

Clever & easily instituted, I’ll think about that, that is until I forget.
Life!
Thanks David.
