Yes. Those bolts are pushing on the (IMS gear - you mean crankshaft flange)….they ARE NOT in THE HOLES - which is where mine are now.

I am using the LNE method. I am stuck on Item# 17.

The 3 nuts (that are 'micro coated') secure on to the solid part of the Crankshaft or AGAINST IT, don't they?

Hence, the need for such a low torque amount, it is supposed to be a 'friction fit' against the crank, isn't it?

I will grab a pic, maybe that will explain the dilemma.

Thanks.
