thanks! my wifes car is auto.. i remember a friend of mine told me that to look for a hole on the tranny and use a long screwdriver to hold the gear when you tighten the crank bolt, but i dont see any hole.
Wow. Whoever told you this is just plain stupid. Don't do this. It is way to dangerous and could also damage your tranny. Simply, hold the brakes down while someone tightens it!!!!!
ok, now the car wont start! i though it was flooded so i what i did is pulling the fuel fuse and wait for a couple of minutes then tried to start the engine and still wont start! i did that few times and i stop for now and wait till tom b'coz i can smell the gas fumes.. any idea whats wrong?

Another common issue if you move the car a short distance and then turn it off. It will flood every time. to fix this, push the gas to the floor and turn the key. This resets the ECU and it will start, just keep turning the key until it does.
If i move the car? is it before or after i fix the problem? this is the second time that happen, when im working something in the car and i jack the front car up and let it sit for a day by the time im going to start the engine it wont start..

This happens for example when you move your car out of the way because you wife parked you in. Short distance or a few feet will cause a flood on these. Common on all nissans.
- There is a keyway and key (half-moon shaped piece of metal that fits in the keyway) on the crankshaft. Examine the key for burrs and dress it with a pattern file if there are any. (Clean and oil it afterwards.) Set the key in the keyway with the front slightly lower than the rear so the pulley won't push it out when installed.
THis has been a great thread but I'm just not sure about this step. The Haynes manual doesn't talk about this. Is this a loose part that comes off when the pulley is pulled? Can anybody care to explain Thanks

Yes-
it is a small separate part--don't loose it.
It may come out in the pulley. It is wedged in to keep the pulley from spinning on the shaft-
It goes back in with the round side to the shaft-then you press the pulley back on over it.
Looks like I have this problem with my 95 and was wondering if anyone has working pics of this. I would like to see what I am about to do and the Haynes book doesn't show this process.
Make sure there is no crankshaft play or walk or your efforts will be wasted.
You have crank walk on a GA ??
Or main bearing play ??
I don't think i have ever seen that mentioned here even from our hi mile members.

I don't but i've seen it before after the thrust bearing wears out, it will walk trust me.
On a Nissan GA series engine ?
I have been on this forum since 2003 and have never seen anyone report this.
Yes DSM's walk their cranks, various European engines.

Blood and swelling fun. My 2 cents get a puller and be done with it. Hehe
