MBE 900 – Section 1.13 Engine Barring Tool

Section 1.13
Engine Barring Tool

The engine barring tool J-46392 is used for two separate functions: locking the flywheel and rotating the crankshaft.‪

• With the locking pin inserted, the tool locks the flywheel ring gear to prevent rotation during removal and installation of the flywheel.
• Without the pin, the tool can be used with a wrench to turn the flywheel and crankshaft manually.

Note: The first time an engine barring tool is installed on the engine to turn the flywheel, the teeth on the rotating gear may rub on the flywheel housing. This does not cause a problem and should not occur the next time the tool is used.
