Work on Duramax 2500 / 3500 pickups .Remove metal spring-loaded inspection plate on the bottom of the transmission. Tool should slide into opening toward engine with the top of the tool engaging the teeth of the flywheel. Locking the flywheel at the transmission instead of having to remove the starter for water pump replacement. Toothed pieces with screws---Remove the rubber inspection cap on the bottom of the transmission.Insert the tool at the front of the opening to engage the flywheel and hand tighten bolt to hold tool in place. Forged 36mm socket---Use on the balancer bolt.Use with a 3/4" square drive wrench. Quality tool ---Made of CRV steel with durability.
Based on my observations, this tool is just a waste of money. It didn't lock the flywheel as advertised and is of no use. It's a disappointment since it's supposed to be an Automotive tool. It was also tough to use and did not provide any value to my engine maintenance toolkit.
Flywheel Locking Pin went in easily and held the engine as advertised. The harmonic balancer's heavy duty jack worked well with a 3/4" breaker. Good product for heavy use!
