How does a crank pulley work on a Mazda 3?

How do you change the cogged gear on a Mazda 3?
The cogged gear is never replaced unless there is a problem with it, it is pressed onto the end of the crank and you would need a gear puller to remove it. You simply remove the crank bolt, pop the pulley off, stick the new pulley on and put the bolt back in.
What happens if you get the crankshaft pulley loose?
If you get the bolt loose and you turn the crankshaft or camshafts you can bent valves on multiple Mazda engines since they do not have a key. We demonstrated how to remove and get the crankshaft pulley bolt loose on Mazda CX-7 but it should work on multiple Mazda engines and models.
How to line up a harmonic balancer on a Mazda 3?
When you have the crank locked and the cams locked, there is a hole that you can use to line up the balancer in the proper position. If it’s aligned you should be able to insert an m6 bolt (probably need 20mm or above in length) into the hole and lock it while you tighten down the crank pulley.

How to change crank pulley-harmonic balancer?
Then remove that bolt and the crank lock and rotate the engine 360 degrees back to tdc (use the crank lock) and try to insert the m6 bolt again in the harmonic balancer, if it lines up you are golden. If you need more help shoot me a PM or an IM.

Can a crank pulley be removed without a timing cover?
Unless the crank pulley is radically different then any other car I have seen you can remove the crank pulley without removing the timing chain, so you don’t have to lock the cams together. The design has a pulley outside of the timing cover and a cogged gear inside of the timing cover on the end of the crank shaft.
What happens when you release tension on the crank pulley?
When you release tension on the crank bolt the cams are not gonna move because there is too much force being applied from the cam journal covers, at best the sprocket to which the chain is attached may move 1 degree or 2, nothing serious as I really doubt anything within the engine will move at all.
How to change the pulley on a Mazda 3?
Of course getting the pulley lose might be a bit of a trial, but if you have a manual trans it should be a breeze, just stick the car in 5th gear and it will effectively lock the engine in place so you can put enough torque on the crank pulley bolt to break it lose and reinstall it. you shouldn’t just take the pulley off on a mazda 3.
