2.1.3 Installing the Crankpin and Pulley
□
Install a crankshaft locking tool, remove the crank pulley bolt and
remove the crank pulley. If you are using the VMAC tool:
put the socket on the nut
put the single-pin end of the tool on the front of the pulley with
the locking tool hanging straight down
put a short extension and long flex-bar on the socket
turn the engine until the pin on the tool makes contact and the
tool jams against the protruding center-piece of the cross-
member under the front of the engine
□
Remove the crankshaft pin using the VMAC extraction tool
(Figure 2.3):
fit the split end of the tool (on the end of the shaft) over the
crankshaft pin and tap downward with the slide-hammer to
make sure that it is seated correctly
tighten the pinch bolt securely
use the hammer action of the slider in an upward motion to
remove the pin from the crankshaft
□
Install the replacement crankshaft/harmonic balancer locating pin
and tap it home using a brass drift and a small hammer. Ensure
that the head of the pin is aligned with the crankshaft by twisting
it into position with a crescent wrench (Figure 2.4).
