ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for installing and adjusting a clutch assembly in a vehicle is shown and described. In a preferred embodiment, a bracket having a plate that simulates a clutch brake and having a measurement device, is mounted on a flywheel housing in which a clutch assembly having a release bearing is mounted. The measurement device is encased by a cover and securely fixed to the bracket, and measures the distance between the plate and the release bearing. In a preferred embodiment, the measurement device has a slidably movable member that may be extended between an outer surface of the plate and an outer surface of the release bearing, thereby measuring the distance between the two surfaces. In order to ensure that an accurate measurement is made, the measurement device is zeroed when an end surface of the slidably movable member is substantially flush with an outer surface of the plate.
