Yes, make sure it is the correct length, there is a small difference in length between the 3.5 and 3.0 updated crank bolts. Also make sure you get the updated washer as well. Add some extra locktite when installing.

Does anyone have the alignment pin for the crankshaft pulley? I am going to machine one this weekend and need the dimensions if possible. The oem sheered AGAIN. Thanks!

Sounds like a plan!

Glad I could contribute!

I think I have enough flat bar to make you one if you'd like. I'll double check when I get home and let you know this evening. Shoot me a pm and we'll work something out!

Alright, so here are the specs on the tool: Flat bar is 2"x1/8"x36" (I cut it nearly in half though), also need two 3/8"x2" bolts and nuts. I drilled out the holes for the bolts first, and then dropped a sharpie down the center of the pulley to mark my center point. I used a 1 3/8" metal hole...

Another design for the crankshaft pulley specialty tool. I will update the specs tonight once I get home. Cost was $7 in hardware for the flat bar and a couple of nuts/bolts/washers at Home Depot. Took about 5 minutes to mark some holes, drill, and cut out the center with a hole-saw.

Great write up, I had issues with one of the screws for the fuel door release as well, but I just loosened everything else up and was able to access everything I needed. Yanked out the box and sensor, cut and soldered 2 wires, and I was back in business! Took me about 20 minutes including the...

I'll have to look when I get home, I think the bolts are 3/8" x 2", I'll get the rest of the info later on. Was pretty simply to make and had zero flex when I torqued the bolt.

Had to make a tool, it worked flawlessly and only cost $7 to build!

I used the part # from Jay's list as well and confirmed that it was the most up to date bolt/washer available.

nwoods, the first step is to determine whether or not you have the updated version. The updated verson is much shorter than the older versions and also includes a newly designed washer. Their is another thread that was started that shows the difference between the two. If you are able to get a...

I would definitely replace yours asap. I just had mine loosen up and cause my pulley to come off. It's cheap insurance to swap it out now.
