4. Tighten bolts to the specified torque in numerical order as shown below.
   • There are four type of bolts. Refer to the following for locating bolts.

     Bolt position Bolt diameter 

     1 - 5 : 10 mm (0.39 in) 

     6 - 25 : 6 mm (0.24 in) 

     Bolt position Tightening specification 

     1 - 5 : 55.0 N.m (5.6 kg-m, 41 ft-lb) 

     6 - 25 : 12.7 N.m (1.3 kg-m, 9 ft-lb)

1. Install crankshaft pulley, taking care not to damage front oil seal.
   • When press-fitting crankshaft pulley with plastic hammer, tap on its center portion (not circumference).
2. Tighten crankshaft pulley bolt in two steps.

   Step 1 : 44.1 N.m (4.5 kg-m, 33 ft-lb) 

   Step 2 : 90° degrees clockwise 

3. Remove Tool.
