Crankshaft Pulley Lock Bolt Installation Note

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Mazda CX-5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION:

To prevent damage to the crankshaft pulley, protect the crankshaft pulley with a clean cloth so that the bar part (205-072) of the SST does not contact the crankshaft pulley.
To prevent damage to the engine front cover, be careful not to allow the tab part (49 B011 105) of the SST to get caught between the crankshaft pulley and the engine front cover.

Install the SST on the crankshaft pulley to lock the crankshaft against rotation.
