I've seen the excellent how to for replacing a clutch but had a few questions for those who have done it.
1. I don't have an alignment tool for the clutch, what part is used to make this, is it the end of a crank shaft, what is it called? Are there any alternatives? Is it worth just doing the clutch fork and release bearing if the clutch looks ok, saving £70 on clutch and not having to worry about the alignment?
2. I've read about using threaded bar to help with the alignment on refitting the bell housing. What thread, how many and how long please?
3. How many jacks are required? A bottle/screw type jack to stop the engine moving. Will one trolley jack support the whole bellhousing? Anything else?
If anyone has a link to a 'how to' which they have used I would be interested to compare a couple.
Can it be done single-handed or is there too much to go wrong?
