crank pulley and pin
sooooooo
lots of pretty lights on the dash / no power steering... hmmm let me pull over and take a look oooh look, both my belts are off - thats odd... well let me just... oh hi! my crank pulley is loose - nice turns out the pin broke and took the crank pulley with it - needless to say, i need both a pulley and a crank pin to secure it which of you wonderful gentlemen know where i can go about finding one? the pulley seems to be a lot easier to find ... the pin, not so much |

Re: crank pulley and pin
The technical name for it is a woodruff key- if you can't find one that works at the local parts store, it's only about $2 from the stealership. Make sure the keyway for it is not wrecked though, as it does happen.

Re: crank pulley and pin
and if the keyway is wrecked that means a new crank right?

Re: crank pulley and pin
We had good luck with hitting the end of the crank with spot welds to build it back up and then grind the keyway back out when I worked for Subaru (this is unfortunately an all too common problem) but you have to find someone willing to do it. Your average dealership probably won't, but your average independent garage probably will.

Re: crank pulley and pin
ugh, the keyway isnt too bad but the woodruff is wrecked... the belt pulley is toast and needs to be replaced
please tell me the actual timing pulley doesnt have to come off for this! i went in there once and really [really] dont feel like pulling all that off just to drop in this little key from what it looks like on the outside the woodruff secures both the timing pulley and the belt pulley... am i correct? |

Re: crank pulley and pin
You want the bad news ? I believe it is going to be one key/keyway for both. However, I *think* you can get the key in there without taking off the timing belt toothed gear.
