Default crank key

found out today that some how my crak key broke off. i've got a new one coming in and i was wondering if you can just tap it back in or you have to take the sprocket off then put the key on and the sprocket back on. hopefully i can just put the key back on but imput on this would help.

And your bent valves will still need the heads off and a lot of other stuff. to
fix.

The crank key is just the tip of the damage.

If it's the crank key and you didn't do pulley work then Nissan has a warranty you can argue with.
