2. Product description
2.1 KL-0500-45 KA - SAC clutch tool set in plastic case
Fits universally for almost all SAC clutches with 3- and 4-hole pitch available on the market. Installed, for example, in
VW-Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Volvo, Opel, Renault etc.
This SAC clutch tool kit is absolutely necessary for professional and damage-free removal and installation of SAC clutches (Self-
Adjusting Clutch). It also permits the SAC adjusting ring in the clutch pressure plate to be reset.
The clutch centring tool included in the scope of delivery permits clutch discs with a hub Ø of 15 - 28 mm and a guide bearing or
crankshaft bore Ø of 12 - 28 mm to be centred. Vehicles without guide bearings in the crankshaft are not a problem either.
The two clamping / centring elements ensure precise centring in the clutch disc on the rst clamping element, and precise
centring in the guide bearing or crankshaft hole on the second clamping element. Even clutches with a crankshaft bore diameter
exceeding the clutch hub diameter can be centred neatly and precisely.
