One useful trick for removing the crank bolt on the crank pulley is to place a breaker bar with socket (highly recommend a 1/2" setup in the minimum as 3/8" sockets don't fair well with high amounts of torque) on the crank bolt so as the handle of the breaker bar is resting against the frame of the vehicle and the socket is firmly on the crank bolt. Do bare in mind that the engine turns clockwise (some few motors do turn counter clockwise-- please check service manual to determine direction of rotation) as this will affect the location of the handle. Once the breaker bar is in place you will want to "bump" the motor or in other words start the car but only long enough to allow one or two rotations of the engine and absolutely no more. Once this is done the crank bolt should be finger loose. This information is provided in that the bolt may be holding you back and with the utmost caution as this is a risky procedure in which someone could be hurt by flying tools or that damage may occur to the crank bolt or frame if poor judgment is used in the correct placing of the tool. Otherwords, make sure the socket is firmly on the bolt and that the handle is not going to crush something weak such as a plastic piece or something of the sort. Good Luck!

How to replace oil seal of crankshaft pulley for Mazda 323 1995 model?

To replace the oil seal of the crankshaft pulley on a 1995 Mazda 323, first, ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Remove the crankshaft pulley by loosening the bolt and using a puller if necessary. Once the pulley is off, carefully pry out the old oil seal, clean the area, and then press the new seal into place, ensuring it's flush with the engine block. Reinstall the crankshaft pulley, tighten the bolt to the specified torque, and reconnect the battery.


How do you loose crankshaft bolt in Mazda 323?

To loosen the crankshaft bolt on a Mazda 323, first, ensure the engine is stable and secure, then remove any components obstructing access to the crankshaft pulley. Use a breaker bar or a ratchet with the appropriate socket on the crankshaft bolt, and rotate it counterclockwise. For added leverage, you may need to brace the flywheel or use a crankshaft pulley holder tool to prevent the engine from turning. Always follow your vehicle's service manual for specific instructions and torque specifications.

Why has the tip of the crankshaft of a 1992 B2200 Mazda pickup with an F2 engine broken off twice during 89000 miles?

The most logical reason for the key or tip as you call it breaking off is probably a result of improper torque on the crankshaft pulley or the crankshaft pulley is out of balance.To prevent this I would highly suggest buying a new crankshaft pulley that will be balanced.To explain what happens over time the strain of adjusting the belts from the alternator and power steering and air condition pull the crankshaft pulley with varied tension and can cause the crank pulley to warp to a degree causing it to be unbalanced.While this may seem a bit strange the metal will be affected by this due to age,temperature,torque from the belts tensions pulley left and right.Best bet buy a new crankshaft pulley (note just look at the pulley while idling and see if is wobbling) this will tell you the pulley is warped or out of balance.Plain and simple!


How do you check the timing on a 1983 Mazda rx7?

To check the timing on a 1983 Mazda RX-7, first ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then turn it off. Remove the timing cover to access the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley and the timing pointer. Use a timing light connected to the number one spark plug wire, and start the engine. Aim the timing light at the crankshaft pulley to see the timing mark align with the pointer; adjust the ignition timing as needed by loosening the distributor and rotating it.
