Welcome. Your pulley's about to come apart and leave you stranded. Do a search here and you'll find numerous threads on replacement options and procedures.

the lightened one that dayle sells worked very well... and looks much better than the original... probably cheaper too...

Thanks drew. How do you keep the crank from turning?

i.... I!!... did it the ghetto way... i rigged up a breaker bar to the ratchet... and rested the bar towards the drivers side of the engine bay... flicked the key on for a split second and broke the crank pulley loose.... (i bet this way is not highly recommended... but it worked..) and for tightening it, i bought a strap wrench, but i ended up not using it... (again, not recommended) i just grabbed on and torqued as much as i could by holding it...... find better directions elsewhere

I'm too chicken to try that way. Thanks though. There's got to be a better way. I tried to search in this forum or others but I couldn't find any. Anybody?
