Any tricks to turning the engine to position a piston to top dead center ? Is there a nut on the end of the crankshaft that is accessible to do so ?
This is a Kizashi 2012 SE auto w/CVT

You'll most likely need to remove the front RHS wheel and then get access from removing the plastic wheel well liner to the crankshaft pulley bolt. You'll also need to have the spark plugs removed and the trans in neutral.

I'm sure the process is covered in the Service Manual you can find here:
