Engine Crankshaft Alignment Tool – 1/2-Inch Drive, Scania Engines
Brief Overview
This crankshaft alignment tool is purpose-built for Scania engine timing and positioning work. Engineered with a dual-function design—featuring a 1/2-inch square drive socket end paired with a multi-lobed splined engagement shaft—it provides mechanics with the precision control needed for critical crankshaft TDC (Top Dead Center) alignment during major service intervals, timing belt replacement, or engine rebuilds.
For comprehensive timing work on Scania platforms, pair this tool with complementary solutions like a crankshaft locking pin to secure position during component removal, or consider a timing and crankshaft turning tool if your shop handles multiple engine families.
Key Features
- 1/2-Inch Square Drive: Direct compatibility with standard ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches for precise rotational control
- Multi-Lobed Splined Shaft: Engages directly with Scania crankshaft profiles, ensuring positive contact without slippage
- Matte-Black Steel Construction: Durable finish resists corrosion and wear from repeated shop use
- Compact, Balanced Design: Sized for engine bay access without requiring excessive workspace
- Scania-Specific Engineering: Eliminates guesswork—no adapters or workarounds needed
Why This Matters for Your Shop
