Using this crankshaft socket is a breeze. First, just slip the socket over the crank snout. Then, attach any 1/2" ratchet or breaker bar to start rotating the engine. It can be used whether the oil pump is installed or not. When you're replacing the timing belt or doing other engine work, this tool will help you quickly find the TDC. Here are some important notes. Never use an impact wrench with this socket to rotate the engine as it can cause damage. To keep it in good shape, after each use, clean the socket with a dry cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust. This socket is built to last, thanks to its CNC - machined steel construction, so with proper care, it'll serve you well for a long time.
