You can Select Your Vehicle to check if F5RZ-6312-A fits your vehicle.

To have access to the auxiliary drivebelt the following actions should be performed, in case work to be done on the auxiliary drivebelt is not large, then the drivebelt should be removed; if, in turn, work is to be done on the crankshaft pulley, the aux. drivebelt should be disconnected somehow, for example, wound around and fixed firmly in place. It is recommended that if they are other tasks involved; which require the pulley to be off, should get the engine at TDC before proceeding to loosen the crankshaft pulley bolt. During the removal of the bolt of the pulley, the crankshaft must be locked or fixed in such a way that it cannot rotate; in this case, two holes in the face part of the pulley are used with a holding tool that is in the form of a forked piece made from metal strips. , This is done if the engine/transaxle is still in the vehicle Simply engage high gear and have someone step on the brake. If you merely hoist it out but do not unbolt it, prevent starter motor removal and lock the flywheel ring gear by jamming with a screwdriver into the bell housing. If the engine/transaxle has been removed completely, then use the method of flywheel removal is to be followed. This should not be used at any one time to lock the crankshaft as the timing pin is not strong enough to withstand the pressure and most probably will shear off. When you unscrew the pulley bolt, you have to take off the pulley and be keen on the way it is placed. For installation, though a pulley bolt is not necessarily needed to be replaced, however, in view of its resistance requirement to a high torque, it is recommended that the pulley bolt be replaced. The process of installation is the reverse of the removal; make certain the GL key way of the pulley fits to the locating key of the crank shaft; tighten the pulley bolt to rotation torque and lock the crank shaft in the same fashion when loosening it.

To disassemble it, one has to first retrieve the drive belt to expose the crankshaft pulley from the 2.0L engine. If the pulley is incorporated in another process like the timing belt change procedure fix the engine at TDC before removing the crankshaft bolt for pulley removal While loosening the bolt to remove the crankshaft pulley do not use the timing pin to lock the crankshaft as it may shear off. To avoid turning of the crankshaft during the process of loosening of the pulley bolt, pull it to a halt in this manner; If you are using a chain wrench ensure that it has some protective covering, or else you can lock the flywheel using a screwdriver. Following the removal of pulley bolt, take off the pulley. For installation, reverse the above procedures and arrange the pulley keyway on the crankshaft with the locating key and tighten the pulley bolt to the recommended torque. For the 2.3L and 2.5L engines, the timing belt will come off as soon as the crankshaft pulley is loosened; thus, use the following instructions when assembling to prevent serious damage. First eliminate the cooling fan and shroud, auxiliary drive belt, and the valve cover; position the engine to the TDC. Make sure that the camshaft alignment plate and crankshaft alignment bolt are fitted right. There is a particular tool for holding the crankshaft pulley to prevent damage when trying to loosen the pulley bolt. Before tightening the new crankshaft pulley, give the crankshaft front seal a light coating of oil after you have taken out the pulley. Tighten a new pulley bolt by hand and place it near the timing chain cover, fasten a crankshaft pulley alignment bolt just in case to provide proper alignment. Screw the pulley bolt to the said torque and then take out the holding tool as well as the alignment bolt. Place the engine at the 'T' mark and provide 2 full clockwise revolutions before setting the engine at the 'T' mark and installing the timing pin. In case of any doubt reposition the crankshaft pulley and ensure that you use the camshaft tool to determine the correct position of the camshaft so that other tools can be placed correctly for timing. Last but not the least; unbolt all the timing pin and tools, fix the timing pin plug back and just reverse the process you have just done.

Remove the rubber plug from the transmission bell housing or unbolt the small metal cover plate from the oil pan, and use a large screwdriver to lock the flywheel/driveplate ring gear teeth while an assistant loosens the pulley bolt. Care should be taken not to damage the teeth or surrounding castings.

Remove the crankshaft pulley retaining bolt.
