Hey forum,

I have been working on getting the broken crankshaft pulley bolt out, and my grandpa and i finally got it. Upon inspection of the pulley itself there is a crack in it. I am uploading a few pictures of it and would like your opinions on whether or
not it needs to be replaced or if it is not that big of an issue.

Definitely replace it! No question.

What he said, you dont want that thing spinning at over 2000 rotations per minuite, especially when its under pressure the tension of a rubber belt that can fray and break if due to the crack. replace it! and while you're down there its not a bad idea to go ahead and do the waterpump if you havent already it will fail if it hasn't already. IMO it just makes sense you're killing 2 birds with one stone.
