Alignment Tool - Steel 1-1/8-26 GM .590 pilot

The Alignment Tool - Steel 1-1/8-26 GM .590 pilot by RAM CLUTCH is an essential precision instrument for any mechanic performing clutch installation, removal, or service work on General Motors vehicles. This specialized tool ensures proper clutch disc alignment during assembly, preventing costly misalignment that can cause binding, vibration, and premature wear. Whether you're a professional technician or dedicated DIY enthusiast tackling a transmission rebuild, this alignment tool eliminates guesswork and guarantees that your clutch components seat correctly on the first attempt.

Constructed from durable steel, this alignment tool features a 1-1/8-26 thread specification with a .590-inch pilot diameter engineered to match GM clutch input shaft tolerances precisely. The tapered design guides the clutch disc into perfect concentricity while the flywheel bolts are being torqued, eliminating eccentric loading that stresses the bearing and transmission. Its compact profile and lightweight construction make it easy to manipulate in tight engine bays, while the hardened steel shaft resists deformation under the pressure of assembly work.

This tool is indispensable for Chevy, GMC, Cadillac, and Pontiac platform builds where a reliable, repeatable installation is non-negotiable. Technicians performing high-performance clutch upgrades, stock replacements, or transmission swaps rely on proper alignment tools to ensure the clutch disc doesn't rub the bell housing, ultimately enhancing the longevity and performance of the vehicle.
