Default Help with Crankshaft pulley 2008 edge 3.5

I am tryin to install my crankshaft pully (harmonic balancer) there is no keyway on these pulleys and i want to make sure to install it in the correct position

i dont see any marks on the pulley to align it up correctly.... looked online and don't see a alignment tool either...am i missing something?
im sure it has to be in the exact right position for timing sensor right?

thanks in advance for your help

Workshop manual says to use OTC 303-102 to install the crankshaft pulley, I just use the crankshaft pulley bolt to install it, never had a issue.
You do not have to worry about position since the crankshaft position sensor does not use the crankshaft pulley for timing.

Honestly I wouldn't worry about renting the tool, I dont even know where it is at my dealer.
Put a little oil on the inside of the pulley, slide it on the crank shaft and use a piece of wood thats approx 3 inch x 3 inch and lightly hammer it on far enough so the pulley bolt screws in five or six full revolutions by hand before you start to crank down on the bolt.
If you only slide the pulley on by hand then use the bolt to tighten it you will pull the threads out the crankshaft.

I just use a high torque 1/2 inch drive impact wrench to tightening the bolt till it stops turning.
