Product Overview
The crankshaft pulley bolt on a Pentastar-family engine is too tight to loosen or torque by holding the belt or transmission. This fixture engages the vibration damper so counter-torque can be applied without loading the timing chain or relying on an impact gun.
It holds the damper; it is not the puller or installer. Engine, damper design, access, and service-year tooling can vary, and overloading or using power tools can break a holding fixture.
Confirm engine, model year, damper slots, tool engagement, and 10198A. Use the current factory torque procedure because many crank bolts are torque-to-yield or have angle steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this remove the damper from the crankshaft? A: No. It holds the damper while the retaining bolt is loosened or tightened; a separate puller or installer may be needed.
Q: Can I use an impact wrench with it? A: No. Use controlled hand tools and the engine procedure.
Q: Will it fit every 3.6L vehicle? A: No. Confirm model year, damper design, engine, and 10198A tool callout.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket product. Brand names and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
