Hi All,
With an automatic gearbox (Z22SE), what's the best way to ensure no movement of the crankshaft/flywheel (avoiding damage to the Woodruff key) while tightening the crankshaft-pulley bolt?
Preventing crankshaft-pulley rotation is easy enough using various good methods mentioned on here.
For the crankshaft itself, Haynes suggests locking the flywheel to gearbox housing using the starter-motor bolts and a DIY plate. Is this the only guaranteed method?
Would be grateful for any helpful hints or alternatives to buying/making a flywheel locking tool.
Cheers
