Inspection hole for felx plate?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have a 1997 Outback (EJ25 engine--Automatic Trans). I've been told there's a special hole on the passenger side of the bell housing for the purpose of inserting something to stop the crankshaft. I had previously installed a Perrin lightweight crankshaft pulley, but after scoring the OEM pulley on E-Bay for roughly $2, I think I'm going to go back to the stock pulley. I would like to find this hole so I don't have to risk damaging the aluminium Perrin pulley upon removal. A few people have tried to describe to me where it is, but I still can't find the sucker. :banghead: As I understand it, I don't have to remove anything to get to it (is this correct?) Any help that anyone may have for this would be greatly appreciated.

ohhhhhhhhh.....so thaaaaaaat's the plastic plug people have mentioned. my OB has a hole similar to that, but no plastic plug. i was looking all over the place with a flashlight to find this black plastic plug. thanks so much for the pictures! i was hoping someone might have a pic, but i didn't have the nerve to ask someone to go to the trouble of actually taking them for me. is there just one such hole in the flex plate, meaning i have to rotate the crankshaft until i come upon it?

thanks again for the pics!
