ABSTRACT:
A tool for centering and aligning a clutch assembly of a motor vehicle during clutch installation and removal, comprising a tripartite elongated cylindrical shaft having a threaded section at a first end of the shaft, a generally smooth cylindrical section at a second end of the shaft for mating with a pilot bearing of a crankshaft of the vehicle, and a splined section therebetween for mating with a splined throughbore of a clutch disc; and, a hollow cylindrical housing, open at one end, and having a flat circular plate at its other end, the plate having a throughbore therein to receive the threaded section of the shaft, the housing operatively arranged to surround the splined section of the shaft when the threaded section passes through the throughbore, with the open end in position to contact a surface of the clutch disc; and, a nut operatively arranged to be threaded onto the threaded section and into contact with the flat circular plate to force the open end of the housing into contact with the surface of the clutch disc, and thereafter to force the smooth cylindrical section out of mating engagement with the pilot bearing to facilitate removal of the tool from the clutch assembly.
