DPTOOL Crankshaft Pulley Removal & Installation Kit for Jaguar Land Rover 3.0/5.0 — Hardened Holding Plate & High-Torque Fasteners

DPTOOL crankshaft pulley removal and installation kit is a dedicated heavy-duty toolset designed to safely remove and refit front crankshaft pulleys on Jaguar and Land Rover 3.0L V6 and 5.0L V8 petrol engines.

This purpose-built kit matches the factory tooling needed for AJ-126/306PS and AJ133/508PS engines plus related OEM equivalents, giving independent technicians and experienced home mechanics a reliable way to tackle the tightly torqued crank pulley (vibration damper) used across Jaguar F-Type, XE, XF, XJR, XK and Land Rover / Range Rover models from around 2009–2018. The package combines hardened holding hardware with the correct puller components so the pulley can be released and reinstalled without damage.

How does the kit hold and protect the crank pulley during removal?

The kit includes robust holding fixtures engineered to resist the extremely high preload torque used on these engines. Instead of relying on improvised tools that can slip, the DPTOOL holding pieces secure the pulley while the crank nut is broken free, preventing rotation and damage.

• Heavy-steel holding plate sized for Jaguar/Land Rover crank faces
• High-hardness fasteners that withstand factory torque levels
• Puller jaws and center forcing screw to extract without deforming the damper

What engine models and vehicles will this tool fit?

The set is tailored for the 3.0L AJ-126/AJ-306 and 5.0L AJ133 family of petrol engines and lists the common OEM equivalents. It fits many Jaguar and Land Rover platforms that use these engine codes across model years approximately 2009–2018.

• Jaguar F-Type, XE, XF, XFR, XJ, XJR, XK8 and XKR
• Land Rover Discovery 4 / Discovery and Range Rover / Range Rover Sport
• Compatible with OEM tool numbers 303-1437 through 303-1441

Why is specialized tooling necessary for these crank pulleys?

Factory crank pulleys on these engines are tightened to very high torque and then rotated an additional angle, creating a secure fit that ordinary pullers cannot safely overcome. The DPTOOL kit reproduces the required holding method and provides extraction components sized to the pulley geometry, minimizing risk to the damper, crank snout, and harmonic balancer faces.

• Designed to counteract 200 Nm plus angle-tightened crank nuts
• Puller components remove the pulley without bending or scoring
• Pre-tested fit and durability to match OEM function

What materials, warranty and quality checks are included?

All major pieces are manufactured from hardened steel for long service life and repeated use in workshop conditions. DPTOOL subjects the set to bench testing to ensure dimensional accuracy and functional reliability. A 12-month warranty covers manufacturing defects, giving buyers added confidence.

• High-hardness steel construction for strength and durability
• Engineered and test-checked to fit the specified Jaguar/Land Rover engines
• 12-month warranty against defects in materials and workmanship

Who is this for: The DPTOOL crankshaft pulley removal and install kit is built for professional technicians, independent repair shops and skilled DIYers who service Jaguar and Land Rover petrol engines listed above. If you regularly work on AJ-126/306 or AJ133/508 series engines or need a reliable, OEM-equivalent solution to remove and refit crankshaft vibration dampers without damage, this kit supplies the correct holding and puller components in one ready-to-use package.
