For many jobs, the engine must be set to a certain position or cranked.
To do this, when the car is on a flat surface, turn on the maximum gear and push the car forward or backward. Or:
With a four-cylinder engine, put a 22 mm ring wrench on the central nut of the alternator pulley and turn the engine using the V-belt. If the belt slips, it is necessary to press it with your free hand by pushing the belt between the pulleys (arrow).
In other cases, you need to unscrew the part of the grille under the push rod, put the head on the central nut of the crankshaft pulley and turn the engine using a ratchet and lever (arrow).
Do not turn the engine by the camshaft gear bolt with the toothed belt cover removed. The toothed belt may come off.
