Abstract
An alignment tool in the nature of a dummy drive shaft for coaxially aligning the parts of an automotive clutch includes splined cylindrical and smooth tubular members for respectively engaging the clutch disc and release bearing parts of the clutch which members are selectively axially separable. An elongated rod insertable through the tubular member has a front end threadable into a bore in the rear of the cylindrical member. The rear end of the rod accepts a nut which is engageable against the rear of the tubular member for enabling the members to be selectively axially locked together.
