Use a marker to add lines at the portion of the crank pulley bolt head that has no indented line, as shown in the figure.

NOTE:

Lines are indented by 90° on the crank pulley bolt head.
To minimize an angular error, use a ruler, etc. to draw a straight line.

As shown in the figure, use a marker with a different color than in step (1) to draw a reference line (C) on the crank pulley bolt, according to the reference line (A) and the indented line or additional line on the crank pulley bolt head. Then draw a end line (D) on the crank pulley, using the reference line (B) and the indented line or additional line on the crank pulley bolt head as a reference.

NOTE: Reference line (C) is drawn for prevention of misidentification and better visibility.

Use the ST1 and ST2 to lock the crank pulley, and tighten the crank pulley bolt until the reference line (C) and end line (D) are aligned.

NOTE: It should be approx. 120° when reference line (C) and end line (D) are aligned.
