I did mine at the weekend. Just lined it up by eye, then used a depth gauge against the flywheel in a few places to check it was near enough.

As said, do it by eye. Changed loads of clutches without the need to use one. You'll soon work out if you get it right or worng when the gearbox won't go on

12mm deep socket fits through the splines, then just make sure that sits flat against the crank and hey presto, aligned.

As above on a short extension bar so you can wiggle it with the clutch nipped up to align it then tighten the clutch down and take the socket out... Or by eye, altho im never 100% confident in my own judgement, i always use the socket trick!
