Im currently doing my mates clutch (a bloody holden barina, what a nice mate i am!) Its all done, bar i can't get the $&#$% spline into the clutch, cos i can't align it! (i cant get in there to make it straight by eye, holden designed them badly).

So i want a clutch alignment tool (i thought it would come in handy on future projects). Where can i get one and how much?

use a suitably sized tube socket on an extension... Never had an issue with that method.

OMG so shiny! · by **Dell'Orto** » Tue Jun 12, 2007 2:01 pm

Theres a Quinton Hazell one available from Repco for like $20 or something. Its basically a brass rod with some plastic washers :lol:

ABW and Powerbuilt also make them, but they're a bit more expensive. Probably worthwhile if you're gonna be doing more clutches in the long run though.

i always just use the handle of my ratchet, my car moves so you cant say it doesn't work!

The problem im having, is cos of the shitty placement of the swaybar, i cant get the box right out from under the car, so i cant line it up by sight, and with a rachet i cant seem to get it straight hence why a tool would be easier.

Ill go to repco tomorrow and take a look, cheers Brad.

how much is holding the swaybar on? shouldnt be more then a 10min job to take off.
but, as above with repco, or the correct size dowel/broom handle.
I made one on a lathe years ago.

Theres 2 brackets up front, and it bolts through the suspension arm. I took the front brackets off so it could move down. Can't really be bothered taking it right off, im doing this as a freebie for my mate (i don't know why) so wanna make it as easy as possible.

Im thinking i might just leave it up to him! I have to travel all the way from silverdale to devonport to do it for him!

It also forces him to drive his ST185 around :lol:

. You might have seen it around, its a black one with my old RC bumper and RP01s.
