The FSM will officially say it's a replaced part.
The bolt will sometimes have a (maybe more?) staked mark to help keep the crush washer onto the bolt flange. This is probably what's keeping the crush washer in place. The washer isn't supposed to be Loctite'd down from the factory. -Ted |

True, but if a previous owner had messed with it you can't be 100% sure of this. I'd soak it in some PB blaster, and keep at it with the flathead screwdriver. Might have better luck with a thinner blade screwdriver, or a stiff paint scaper blade.

i have had the washer stick too, and i will put a little sealant on it, and the threads.
i also like to use the S5 and 94-95 FD front bolt retaining tab thing n350-11-3?? it goes over the bolt and attaches to the front pulley. mazda DID use locktite, and 90lbs ft, and they STILL had problems with the bolt falling out so they went to 1,000,000lbs ft locktite and the retaining tab thing on the FD. -mike |
