Troubleshooting
Tool does not fit correctly
Double-check the engine model and year against the product's compatibility list. Ensure you are using the correct tool for the specific engine component (e.g., camshaft vs. crankshaft pin).
Difficulty locking flywheel/crankshaft
Ensure the engine is at the correct position (usually Top Dead Center on cylinder 1, as per service manual) before attempting to insert the locking pin. Check for any obstructions.
Timing belt tensioner adjuster is difficult to turn
Apply steady, even pressure. Ensure the tensioner mechanism is clean and free from debris. Refer to the vehicle's service manual for the correct adjustment procedure.
