Part: Engine

Video tutorial

This video will show you how to remove the crankshaft pulley. To start, insert a socket wrench into the central bolt; now insert the lever with a square attachment into the socket.

Next, turn the lever in the same direction as the engine's rotation until it stops against a solid part of the engine bay. At this point, quickly turn the wrench to give a small rotation to the engine without starting it; the rotation, with the pulley held by the lever, will automatically perform the unlocking operation.

You can then finish unscrewing until complete removal.
