Welp, that sucks. All bolts are there, so's I tightened 'em up as best I could, which frankly, I couldn't. They were as tight as could be and any time I felt that I was about to make progress, the whole crankshaft turned. So. Anything else I should try? I've already got my nice new work shirt dirty.
im not saying thats what it is, but its a possiably at this point, can you jiggle anything with you hand like the fan?( while its NOT running) dont want you to lose any hands or fingers , might be water pump also goin bad im not sure though but otherwise im kinda out of answers right now eddie
Let me tell you what I can wiggle. Coming out of the crankshaft there's two seperate pulleys. One operates the radiator fan and the alternator. The other turns the power steering pump. The rearward pulley (closest to the block) can be wiggled by hand -- which is why I'm doubting this is a crankshaft issue. Keep the suggestions coming, and thanks to all you guys.
alright , another thing ive been meaning to ask what kinda engine? dont think that matters much but j/w , i didnt know that it was a 2 piece pulley i thought it was 1 piece with 2 seprate groves , im not sure maybe there should be a spacer between them just a thought eddie
It's a 250. The rear pulley is 1 piece with 2 grooves, but there's another pulley, one-piece, to the power steering pump.
I've not been looking forward to that, but it is looking like I'm going to have to. I'll do it when I have sunlight tomorrow.
Nah, security guards got here a couple hours ago and don't let you work on cars. Maybe I'll go do it. Anything in particular I should look for? Will that center bolt allow me to pull the whole thing, or will I need to pull all of the bolts?
what they wont let you work on your car what kinda world are we living in , nope center bolt wont stop you just 4 bolts around it
Er-uh, so do I have to pull all of the bolts, or just the center? Sorry, I'm a bit of a dummy. I fix computer for a living.
all the bolts EXCEPT for the center bolt , no problem , i am a dummy when it comes to computers so its all good,
