crankshaft pulley 98 crown vic stripped?
98 crown vic had belt noise recently on and off, finally i went to start it and the drive belt slipped off, after numerous attempts to get belt back on, when i did, everytime i noticed it wouldnt just line up properly, after deeper inspection , i noticed that the pulley itself was wobbly and loose, after pulling on wheel, i noticed it slide off the actual smaller wheel, then i looked at the inner ring, and noticed that the rubber lining was worn, to the point that even when put back on the pulley, when started it will manage to misalign the drive belt causing it to come off, so my question is , is this normal? and if so how big of a job is it to replace?
i called autozone, they didnt carry this part, what is the best source for getting this part?
The crank pulley has to be replaced. Not an awful job, but everything has to be cleared out of the way to pull it off the crankshaft.
