CAUTION: Do not loosen or remove the crankshaft pulley bolt without first installing the special tools as instructed in this procedure.
The crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft timing sprocket are not keyed to the crankshaft. The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and
the pulley are fitted together by friction, using diamond washers between the flange faces on each part. For that reason, the crankshaft
sprocket is also unfastened if you loosen the pulley bolt. Before any repair requiring loosening or removal of the crankshaft pulley bolt,
the crankshaft and camshafts must be locked in place by the special service tools, otherwise severe engine damage can occur.
