Cranky Pulley

Question about the crank pulley. Mine is making a clicking noise and is wobbling slightly. I removed the belt to see if it had separated, but I could not remove the pulley from its center...But it did spin independently from the center and crankshaft. I'm pretty sure this is not supposed to happen. I think I am going to replace it with the one piece pulley from Motorsports. They DO have a oem size one that takes the stock belts, correct? Is it pretty easy to remove the center bolt and replace the pulley or is more work involved? Should the car be parked until repaired?

PS. This is the second pulley thats been on the car, first one separted and fell off when driving.

This thread is a good read on getting the crank pulley off.

Do not drive it or run the engine!!!
A 5 pound weight spinning at thousands of RPMs can cause a lot of damage.

That's what I'm running. Be aware that some knowledgable folks aren't too keen on replacing the stock pulley with a one-piece unit, as you lose any "harmonic balancing" effect the former provides. Scan the many threads on the subject so you can make an informed decision.

Would anyone be able to scan the pages from the service manual related to removing and installing this pulley?
