3. Instrucțiuni de utilizare
The SPI SM-12604 clutch alignment tool is designed for straightforward use to ensure precise clutch disc centering.
3.1. Clutch Disc Alignment Procedure
- Carefully insert the SPI SM-12604 alignment tool through the center of the clutch disc and into the pilot bearing (or pilot hole in the crankshaft).
- Gently wiggle the tool to ensure the clutch disc is perfectly centered on the flywheel. The tool should slide in smoothly and hold the disc in place without excessive play.
- Once the clutch disc is centered by the tool, begin installing the pressure plate bolts. Tighten these bolts gradually and evenly in a star pattern, following the torque specifications provided by the vehicle manufacturer. This prevents warping of the pressure plate.
- After all pressure plate bolts are tightened to specification, carefully remove the SPI SM-12604 alignment tool. The clutch disc should now be perfectly aligned and held firmly by the pressure plate.
- Proceed with the transmission installation, ensuring the input shaft slides smoothly into the aligned clutch disc splines and pilot bearing.
Nota: If the transmission input shaft does not slide in easily, do not force it. Re-check the clutch disc alignment and ensure no obstructions are present.
