SOURCE: my crankshaft pulley wobbles and makes a weird noise

Hi there;
Somethimes this happens over time. It is usualy caused by an oil leak at or above the pully causing the rubber in the "hamonic balancer" which is part of that pully system to fail. If you don't have it repaired you will find the pully will wear through the cover behind it. So be sure to get it repaired.

Hope this helps, Good luck.
Farrout.

You need a three jaw puller to remove the balancer. After you remove the center bolt the puller hooks into the three holes in the balancer.

TAKE THE BELT OFF OF IT AND SEE IF IT WOBBLES EXCESSIVELY. IF IT DON'T YOUR OK. IF IT DOES YOU WILL HAVE TO REPLACE IT.

Hi,
You can remove that center bolt easily with an impact gun. It has normal threads on it. An impact gun will prove to be an affordable tool that you will use again. You can get an electric one from Harbor Freight. They make the job of removing tough bolts much easier. If the engine is in the car, you might not have enough room. You can use a ratchet and if the engine is turning, you can hold the pulley with another tool sold at Harbor Freight called a rubber strap wrench.

Testimonial: "Will report again when the job is done. Thanks for this info: 1) Center bolt is normal thread 2) Tools can be pruchased at Harbor Freight"
