During my PS and AC removal fun, I seperated the accessories pulley from the water pump/alternator pulley and placed it back on the E-shaft. Started the car up, to find it running but all the idiot lights on. I shut it off and checked to see what I forgot. Yeah, I forgot to put the bolts back in the pulley. So I bolted it back on and all is well, but I'm going to assume I didn't put the pulley back on in the same orientation that it was and thus my timing marks should be off. So how do I realign them? Use the marks under the CAS cover? Thanks.

 

The pilley is drilled do it only installs one way. One of the holes is offset.

 

Huh, so it was stupid luck that it went back on the right way? Guess I had a 25% chance of getting it right. Thanks man.

 

What he is saying is you CANNOT install it wrong. Mazda made it idiot proof!

 

Oh yeah, I know that...it's just that on my very first shot, it went on the right way. Thats what made me think the holes were all the same.
