Dwight,

You have to remove the pressure plate and clutch disc...mount the dial indicator base on the flywheel, then position the dial indicator so that it's in the plane of the transmission mating surface on the bellhousing. Basically you're turning the dial indicator around the bellhousing hole that your input shaft will go through. As you turn the engine over, the dial indicator will rotate about the crankshaft axis and you read the run-out....then divide by 2. I think Lakewood allows .005" total run-out. If it's more, then you have to buy the stupid dowel kit to align it better.

Fortunately, the last one I had came in at .005". I bet I won't be as lucky this time.

On a different note, why would I have to use a hydraulic TOB? Why can't I just use a regular cable setup?
