      I was using a CS Pulley tool to get my pulley off. It’s the first time I’ve used one of these and per the kit’s instructions I put the slot bolts all the way down, not tight, but snugly on to the 3 pronged bracket. Once I got the pulley off, I saw that I had nicked the timing disk of the crankshaft and I also cracked the lower timing gear cover. In hindsight, I should have used shorter bolts (which weren’t provided), or maybe I could have succeeded without putting those alignment bolts all the way down. Do I now need to get a new washer that sits on the crankshaft and a new lower cover? I originally thought the brass washer thing was for timing because of the holes but I think it’s just used to keep the timing belt in place? Can I maybe just put this in a vice and flatten it back out?

      Appreciate any feedback.

        You can try and straiten the timing guide. This video may help with what went wrong with
        pulling the balancer.You could call Toyota to see if they sell the guide. You may want a new
        cover also. Also a salvage yard.

          Thanks College Man. LOL – that is actually the video I’m using as my ‘guide’. While it’s been extremely helpful, I missed something, or the trick will be to get the right length screws at a hardware store, then I’ll be golden. Will have to search for the timing guide and cover. Thanks again.
