With ever increasing engine performance and torque outputs, modern clutches have to be stronger but drivers do not want increased pedal pressure. The self adjusting clutch (SAC) achieves this, with much increased clutch clamping force but low release force. The design however, needs specialist service tools when removing or replacing the clutch components.
The Laser Self Adjusting Clutch compressor kit (part no: 4845) is a specialist set of tools for compressing the self adjusting clutches on Audi, BMW, Fiat, Mercedes Benz, Renault, Vauxhall and Volvo cars and light commercials. Maintains true alignment with the drive bearing during installation, the set includes clamping tools for three-hole and four-hole pitch clutch covers plus the specialist mandrels for BMW models where the fitted transit ring stops a conventional alignment mandrel being used. If the clutch cover is to be reused, the kit includes the essential reset tool which allows the adjuster ring to be repositioned back to its start position.
