🔧 Powerbuilt 648980 Air Conditioner Clutch Holding Tool: Ultimate Solution for Secure and Efficient Clutch Maintenance Review

While the shape of the pens is not ideal for some applications and the thumbscrews that hold them in place cannot be tightened enough to prevent things move reasonably torque, I have more than worth the price. Not only for AC clutches, but I've even used it to hold the cam sprockets when removing the bolt. For the price, this is a decent all-round tool that can help you avoid using the wrong tool (vise?) or create a one-off tool to complete a job.

The replacement clutch disc has three holes so a tool can be used for installation. Remember that this tool is very specific and is used to hold the clutch disc when loosening. , or tightening the aircraft B-pillar nut; ie it is ONLY a function.

Screws Will NOT fit 2007 Volvo AC Coupler. I was able to find a few compatible screws in my extra screw bucket so I could attach them.

Seems well built and I'm sure I would love it if it actually did fit my car. I had to replace the clutch on a VW Jetta 03 and it just didn't fit. Even when installed all the way inside, the posts were too far apart to fit the holes. Anyway, it didn't matter since the part of the pin that was supposed to be inserted into the clutch was too small anyway. I would have to turn them on a lathe to make them work.

If you've ever wanted to feel damned in life, you know this. Try replacing a very inaccessible car air conditioner clutch while it's still in the car. If you think the idea of rectal brain surgery sounds like a fun hobby, then you don't even want to look at this tool and have fun.
