Rotate tool on synchronizer base until tool boss engages the base notch. The cover tool should be square and in contact with entire top surface of synchronizer base.
  2. Transfer intermediate oil pump driveshaft from old synchronizer to replacement synchronizer assembly. Install synchronizer assembly so that gear engagement occurs when arror on locator tool is pointed approximately 30 degrees counterclockwise from front face of engine block (this will locate camshaft sensor connector in pre-removal position.)
