It holds the disc in place while the pressure plate is bolted down, preventing the disc from shifting and making it easier to slide the transmission input shaft through the splines afterward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat It Fits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUniversal application. The kit includes eight different tool sizes to match a wide range of pilot bearing and clutch disc bore diameters, covering most passenger car and light truck clutch jobs rather than one specific vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat It Does\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach tool in the set centers the clutch disc against the pilot bearing or pilot bore so the disc, pressure plate, and flywheel stay aligned while everything is torqued down. Using the correct size for the application reduces the chance of bending the friction disc or misaligning the pressure plate during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eConstruction\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tools are machined from steel for rigidity under repeated clutch installs. The kit ships in a set of 8 pieces sized to cover a range of common bore and pilot bearing diameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 steel clutch alignment tools in graduated sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility Limits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelect the tool size that matches the pilot bearing bore and clutch disc hub diameter on the specific vehicle being serviced.

Match the correct size in the set to the disc hub and pilot bearing on the vehicle being serviced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material are the tools made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteel, for durability through repeated clutch installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan I reuse this tool for future clutch jobs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. It is a reusable shop tool, not a one-time-use item, and can be used on any vehicle whose pilot bearing bore and disc hub match one of the eight included sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDo I still need a clutch alignment tool if my kit includes one?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Many clutch kits already include a properly sized alignment tool for that specific application; this set is useful when a kit does not include one or when servicing multiple different vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWill this replace a dealer-specific alignment tool?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor most common bore and pilot bearing sizes, yes. Extremely small or unusual bore diameters outside the 8 included sizes may still require a dedicated tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes using this tool affect clutch alignment accuracy?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. When the correct size is selected, it holds the disc concentric to the pilot bearing so alignment is consistent with a properly installed clutch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs a torque spec included for the pressure plate bolts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Pressure plate bolt torque is vehicle-specific and should be taken from the applicable factory service information for the vehicle being serviced.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"XCLUTCH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46382058766415,"sku":"XCLACT-KIT-PC","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1062\/7920\/files\/3a95e88322462cfb90e9506fe9399532L.jpg?v=1786398803","url":"https:\/\/www.blackopsautoworks.com\/products\/xclutch-professional-8-piece-steel-clutchpro-alignment-tool-kit","provider":"Black Ops Auto Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
