Why would they charge you $49.91 for a 'center bolt crankshaft'?
Surely it's reusable?
And last I knew it's a nut, not a bolt.
Unless they stuffed up this bolt when doing the timing belt change.
Sounds fishy to me.

yes i thought about the waterpump but it should make the next belt change, i was,nt game enough to go past 100k belt service because i dont know where i stand with warranty if it breaks at say 103k. as far as i know they always had a bolt it is used to hold the harmonic balancer in place, ( correct me if i am wrong)
