Flywheel alignment after rear main seal replacement

Postby whitewhale » Wed Sep 05, 2018 9:14 pm

I needed to put a new clutch on my pathfinder and realized when I got inside the rear main seal had a small leak. I decided to address the issue while I have it open. I removed the flywheel and didn't think about marking it for replacement. I realize now that the crankshaft has an alignment hole without threads but the flywheel doesn't seem to have any markings to match it up. I have watched several videos about how important it is to align it correctly but know one tell you how to do it if you don't have alignment marks on the flywheel. I guess if you get it wrong the error code will be a cam sensor error. Any ideas?
