What happens if the tool doesn't seem to lock properly?
Ensure you are using it on the correct vehicle model and that the tool is fully inserted and engaged with the drive plate. Inspect both the tool and the drive plate for any damage or obstructions.
Troubleshooting
Tool does not engage with the drive plate.
Ensure you are working on a compatible vehicle model (Hyundai/KIA HEV/PHEV). Verify that the tool is inserted into the correct access point on the drive plate and that there are no obstructions. Check if the drive plate has the correct tooth profile for this specific locking pawl.
Crankshaft still rotates slightly when tool is engaged.
Re-insert the tool, ensuring the pawl is fully seated and locked into the drive plate. Check the drive plate for any damaged teeth that might prevent a secure lock. Ensure the tool itself is not damaged.
Difficulty in removing the crankshaft pulley bolt.
Confirm the flywheel locking tool is securely engaged. Use a breaker bar with appropriate leverage. If the bolt is seized, consider using a penetrating oil and allowing it to soak before attempting removal again.
