Anybody spot what's wrong in this pic?

So, nice and easy. Who's gonna be the first to tell me what's wrong in this pic?

And then who's gonna be first to give me a how-to to fix it? lol.

That pulley is so rusted the belt isn't going round it properly...?

No idea how to fix it but I'd imagine there's a tensioner you can release to allow the belt to be changed, but I'd have some heavy duty clamps on both pullies concerned or mark their position with tip ex to make sure they are aligned exactly the same when the belt goes back on?

Just a wild guess there!

you not swapped alternators over yet?? lol

 

[jay1]

is that bolt a little rounded too lol

 

[warringtonjack]

Hehe, yeah, the bolt is slightly rounded. And it would appear that I won't be swapping the alternator over (not yet at least!) because that aint the problem!

 

[jay1]

the belt doesnt appear to be tight, thats a problem lol

 

[jay1]

isnt there supposed to be a second belt running to powersteering to? lol

Has the crank pully separated ??

 

[warringtonjack]

Geoff has got it spot on. The crank pulley has slid right off.

So, easy to replace? Probably not. Has anyone got a quick how-to? Or is it as easy as take the old one off and bolt on the new one? (it's never that easy with the R)

Its easy, don't worry. Jack it up, wheel off, impact drive the bolt or stick in gear and get some one to put their foot on the brake and then pop the pulley off with a puller.

It's been so long since i touched one i can't remember, is there a woodruff key behind it ? If so, don't lose it... Lol

 

[Makaveli_se7en]

Might be worth changing the oil seal whilst you're at it.

Its not hard to change the pulley. BUT just by a brand new pulley. They are around £150 ish. Yes there is a woodruff key behind them.
