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!
Hello! The crankshaft position sensor is located behind the crankshaft pulley,on the left side facing the front of the car.It is difficult to see and to remove it you need to remove the crankshaft pulley ( radiator,belts,.... )
Im not sure which direction the bolt turns to remove the pulley...the crank shaft turns in clock wise direction when engine is running.
It is behind the Timing Cover. Torwards the crank pulley.
Loosen the 17mm bolt in the middle of the pulley. Loosen the belt tensioner, and the pulley should slide off with a little help. Make sure to nothing the little key-way that lines the pulley up.
Yes, located toward the bottom ot the engine at the end of the crankshaft. Mazda used an integrated harmonic balancer/belt pulley.
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!
if its anything like the 98-02 model engines they will be on your camshaft sprockets marked i for intake side and e for exhaust side point them toward each other and on your crankshaft you will have to remove the pulley and theres a little indention on the crankshaft and a little pointer at the top on the block line those up also
You need a special tool, pulley puller and installer to remove the pulley first then you remove both hose and bolts to remove the pump, then install new pump and hoses, bolts and finally install the pulley with the special tool, never try to hammer in the pulley, if you do new pump will brake
To replace the timing belt on a 2002 Mazda Protege 5, first ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery. Remove the necessary components, such as the accessory belts, crankshaft pulley, and timing belt covers to access the timing belt. Align the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft, then remove the old belt and install the new one, making sure it is properly tensioned. Finally, reassemble all removed parts, double-check alignment, and reconnect the battery.
To change the alternator belt on a Mazda 323, first remove the right hand air shield under the can. Then locate the pulley tensioner of the AC and loosen the bolts on the pulley. Finally, remove the alternator pivot bolt under the alternator to remove the old alternator belt and replace with a new one.
In order to remove the water pump on a 2000 Mazda Millennia, you must first remove the timing belt and the pulley for the water pump. Remove the pump itself by detaching the four bolts that are securing it. Next, replace any gaskets, install the new pump, then the pulley, and then the timing belt.
It's the one closest to the crankshaft pulley, or the front of the engine, the front of the truck. Assuming it's an inline engine, not a v.
