Function Used for changing the water pump on a engine to prevent the bolts from falling down into the engine Accurate Design The holes and slot are spot on accurate. Easy to Use It has a great feature over the half-moon shaped, which is that being completely round, you don't run the risk of dropping the bolts inside the timing cover Tips for Use Do not tighten all three bolts that hold the sprocket in place, as this will pull the sprocket forward and make the bolts inaccessible, or even break on the water pump sprocket. Nor should you not tighten the bolts enough or the chain will slip. So to keep the timing and balance the chain working well, it's usually good to tighten it about halfway. A guide pin can be created to aid in water pump alignment. Use a M 6 m x 6mm stud. Thread the pin into the water pump sprocket. Using the guide pin, align the pin with the water pump holding tool. And check and spun the water pump around until the holes lined up then installed bolts.
