Features and Benefits:

• Fits universally for SAC clutches with 3- and 4-hole pitch available.
• For a professional removal and installation of SAC clutches
• Enables the resetting of the SAC adjusting ring in the clutch pressure plate
• For a precise centring of the clutch disc
• Two clamping / centring elements (for clutch disc and guide bearing / crankshaft bore)
• Also for clutches with larger crankshaft bore as clutch disc hub diameter can be centred.


The KL-0500-45 KA clutch tool set is indispensable for the professional removal and installation of Self-Adjusting Clutches (SAC). Correct removal and installation of these clutches is almost impossible without the use of our tool set, as there is always a risk of damaging or distorting the clutch. This will result in incorrect separation or "grabbing" of the clutch. Distorted or incorrectly mounted clutches are defective and must be replaced. The tool set KL-0500-45 KA prevents damage to the SAC when removing and installing it. Also, the risk of distorting the adjusting ring in the clutch pressure plate is eliminated using this tool. The newly developed clutch aligner KL-0500-405 enables clutch discs to be centred also on vehicles that do not feature a pilot bearing in the crankshaft. The two clamping-/centring elements ensure, on the first clamping element (� 15 - 28mm) the accurate centring in the clutch disc, and on the second element (� 12 - 28mm) the accurate centring in the pilot bearing, respectively the crankshaft bore. Even clutches on engines with the crankshaft bore � larger than the clutch disc hub � can be aligned neatly and accurately thanks to this tool. Procedure: Before removal, pre-tension the clutch pressure plate by means of the clutch pre-tensioner. For this, unscrew three fastening screws and replace with three thread bolts. Position the clutch pretensioner on the thread bolts and secure with knurled nuts. Screw in the pressure spindle of the clutch pretensioner until the diaphragm spring has reached the limit stop. Unscrew the remaining fastening screws, relieve the diaphragm spring from pressure, and dismount the clutch pretensioner and clutch pressure plate. Centring the clutch disc. Insert the clutch aligner with clutch disc and a suitable centring mandrel into the flywheel. Installing the clutch pressure plate: Apply the pressure plate against the flywheel, install the clutch pretensioner as specified for removal. Stress the diaphragm spring until limit stop, screw in the fastening screws. Advantages: Enables the clutch pressure plate to be pretensioned during removal and installation (important as a means of avoiding distortion on the clutch). Enables the clutch disc to be centred relative to the pilot bearing or pressure plate. Enables the adjuster ring to be reset, in conjunction with reset tool KL-0500-403. Damage-free removal and installation is almost impossible without a SAC clutch tool, as the coupling can be strained or damaged in the process. This inevitably leads to a malfunction or defect of the clutch, and it must be replaced. The clutch centring tool included in the scope of delivery enables centring of clutch discs with a hub diameter of 15 - 28 mm and a guide bearing or crankshaft hole diameter of 12 - 28 mm. Vehicles without guide bearings in the crankshaft are also not a problem. The two clamping / centring elements ensure precise centring in the clutch disc on the first clamping element, and precise entering in the guide bearing or crankshaft hole on the second clamping element. Even clutches with crankshaft hole diameter exceeding the clutch hub diameter can be centred cleanly and precisely. Pros: ; Professional and damage-free disassembly and assembly of the coupling! ; Precise centring of the clutch disc on vehicles without pilot bearings! ; Centring of the clutch disc towards the pilot bearing
