Pretty sure you can buy one specifically for a sierra for like $15 or universal for $25. Cheaper then a 6 pack |

Finger works well. Mechanics cannot have every clutch alignment tool made, have seen many a mechanic use the ole finger method. Myself included. Its all about feel, your finger will easily sus out alignment. If you cannot source a tool. Tool is probably better, but finger is good. |

If your replacing the clutch you SHOULD machine the flywheel. Think of it like brake rotors, Personally I wouldn't put new pads in without machining the rotors. Meh maybe it's just me..

I was puzzled on how you can remove a clutch and fly with the box and motor in place. But I suppose there is method in your madness.

I usually align all my clutches by feel, except for heavy arse truck ones that sit in a deep recess. |

I have an input shaft here if you get desperate... Nothing like the real thing to align a clutch although I've never used it....
