Whoa, wait a sec...what shoulder?

Nevermind, I see it. I unbolted the pulley, and thought maybe I can pull it off gently with a screwdriver. Don't try it. The shaft came out, too, with the retainer and rubber front. I was surprised it came off that easily. Kinda worries me. Anyway, I'll have pics up in a moment.

DOH!! I almost did that recently. My pulley puller'* jaws were too thick to get in between the nose and pulley, so I had to grind the claws down thinner. After I had tried with a small prybar, then quickly decided not to pull very hard.

The pulleys match:




So, what the hell is the deal??

You said the shaft moved????? The INPUT shaft of the SC?

Yep. The shaft the pulley is on.

I tapped the shaft back in, put the retainer back on, and put it all back together. I'm supposed to be leaving on a very long trip for the entire weekend in about 30 minutes. Don't tell me something is bad wrong....

Well, I gotta get going....wish me luck...:?

Good luck!!

That'* your problem. The shaft shouldn't be moving in and out. That'* why you're eating belts. Your washer prevents it from moving in, but nothing prevents it from moving OUT. You have a serious problem.
