clutch alignment tool help

wilkywilko · Mar 18, 2012

hi, could someone please point me in the right direction, fitting my first ever clutch in the morning and im going to make an alignment tool out of a dowel or socket ect, haynes manual says make it out of a dowel and make the rest up with eleci-tape to match up with friction disk hole. but the flywheel hole/indent is say an inch and the friction disk is 3 quarter inch, you would think the flywheel would be smaller,or am i just going at it the wrong way, any help or advice would be much appreciated,

Go to Halfrauds and buy the proper tool. for the ease of use and the peace of mind of knowing that it's been done right and properly centred. It's worth every penny..

just watched a video on that tool, looks good and easy, but why is my flywheel hole bigger
than the clutch hole? just looked on you tube all the ones i watched were the same size or very near.

cheers for the help ill get the tool.

I have never had an alignment tool to hand when doing a clutch but always had success just aligning it by eye although I have only done rwd vehicles so access is easier lol
