2006 R52 Auto Trans. How do you stop the crankshaft from turning during the torque phase of replacing crank pulley.. Also the new pulley slips on with no pressure whatsoever

 

 

There are ways of keeping the engine from turning over from a cam lock tool (which is a bit more involved to install a crank pulley), the supercharged cars can use a special tool that bolts to the damper, or in your case you can try sticking a prybar through the pulley and getting it to catch on the bumps behind the pulley on the timing cover and turn over until it locks in place and torque. (May require a buddy)


As for the pulley slipping on without effort; either the crank is damaged or the pulley ID is the wrong size and I wouldn't recommend installing it, they should be a press fit and torque.

 

Hi nkfry... I sent the pulley that slipped on back.. I just wasn't comfortable with the fit... Ordered a new one just waiting for it to arrive... Thanks for the reply....Paul
