clutch installation.

Okay i have just got my hands on a spare clutch , and trying to line it up. How to do it with out having a spare input shaft that goes from the gearbox to motor . Mate suggrested just us a broom stick. or do i chase down the right part.

Saw one advertised on the weekend for about $40, dunno where though.

You're best off ringning a few places.

I use a fat philips screwdriver, then check by eye.
A proper tool or spare shaft would be best.

if ya got a 6" rule use that and measure around the flywheel with it, its to easy and accurate enough, and there is no need to go spending extra dollars.

Never used a tool yet , too cheep to by one and never planned on doing that many clutches . But after a few ( one 3 times - dont ask ) they have all been lined up by eye .

Instead of lining it up by the centre , look around the edge much easier to see which way it needs to go then . Altho I am struggling to remember what you line up but it was easy at the time .

PITA lining it up by eye if you ask me. Use a tool, centre the plate, tighten the bolts & go. 100% first time. Saves spanners becoming workshop projectiles

WFYB YMMV

I just do clutches by eye. Done a fair few zooks and not had any problem. Depends how much practice you have had. Check repco or other auto stores for a clutch aligning tool. They work well if you get a good one. If not just try to get it by eye. A zook gearbox is only like 25KG so its not that bad to move round.
