Replacing crankshaft pulley

Post by Festus »

Yesterday the crankshaft pulley let go... literally sheared right off going down the road... heard something spinning loose... looked back and there it went rolling down the road. I guess age, wear and tear took it's toll. The nut and key are all still in place.

Any tips in replacing it? I have the manual and have reviewed what is there... just wondering if there's anything I need to be mindful of from anyone who has replaced one before.

Thanks for the help.

Oh man, that must have been a heck of an "oh cr*p…" moment. Unfortunately I don't have much to add other than John at Midwest sells new machined pulleys that look to be a gorgeous replacement.
