straighten the shaft.
1. To correct a situation like the one shown in the illustration,
strike the shaft at point A with a brass hammer.
2. To correct a situation like the one shown in the illustration,
squeeze the crankshaft at points A. (Use tool from
alignment kit).
3. If the crank rod pin location is 180
o
from the dial indicator

crankshaft at position A as shown in the illustration below.
