Tighten the crankshaft pulley bolt. Do not use an impact wrench.

Hold the pulley with the handle (A) and crankshaft pulley holder (B), then tighten the bolt to 37 N-m (3.8 kgf-m, 27 lbf-ft) with a torque wrench and a 19 mm socket (C). If the pulley bolt or crankshaft are new, tighten the bolt to 177 N-m (18.0 kgf-m, 130 lbf-ft), then remove the bolt and tighten it to 37 N-m (3.8 kgf-m, 27 lbf-ft).

Mark the embossed mark (D) on the bolt flange and the crankshaft pulley (E) as shown, then tighten the bolt an additional 90 ° (The mark on the bolt head should line up with the next embossed mark (F) on the bolt flange).
