    BAV is the only place I could find one for my M20 / Getrag 260 clutch.

        What??? Just buy the friggin tool. It isnt that expensive and with something like a clutch job, it will make it 1 billion times either doing it the right way.

            Why is using tools that you have the "wrong way"?

            BTW: clutch can be alligned with eyes, no need for the tool.

            Why pay for something that you really don't need ? Just being anal ?

              I used a bolt and socket to align my clutch. Twice. No problems, and it's called being resourceful, not cheap.


              Keep it slideways!!

                I took care of it already..... 3/4" drive 16mm socket and a 3/8" drive socket extension did the trick. Thanks for all the help

                  Well it could be a good dildo too... but whatever floats your boat.

                    It just seems odd to me because the actual tool isnt that expensive and its so incredibly easy. Although I WILL give you guys props for coming up with something that works with the "normal" tools. I still say just get the tool ;)
