'99 Chrysler Sebring Crankshaft Pulley? Sign up here! Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Engine Troubleshooting Traveler928 New User Aug 2, 2010, 1:40 PM Post #1 of 4 (2674 views) '99 Chrysler Sebring Crankshaft Pulley? Sign In I have a '99 Chrysler Sebring Convertible Jxi 2.5 V6 (63945 mi). The serpentine belt broke. While checking out the belt I noticed that crankshaft pulley looked odd. The pulley turns 2 belts - the powersteering (outer) and the serpentine (inner). It looks as if it is a wheel in a wheel with rubber between. The portion of the pulley that turns the serpentine belt (inner) was loose and I can see rubber. I can move and even spin the inner portion of the pulley with my hand. Is it broken? If so is that something I can replace? Thanks Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Aug 2, 2010, 1:47 PM Post #2 of 4 (2660 views) Re: '99 Chrysler Sebring Crankshaft Pulley? Sign In That pulley is called a Harmonic Balancer and it is broken. You just need to replace the balancer which you will likely need a special puller for. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Sign In Thanks for the reply. It's a tight space, can I access it through the wheel well? As far as tools goes, it looks like there's one bolt holding the pulley so I'll need a socket and ratchet, the special tool you mentioned. What about installing the new pulley, does it just slip in or will i need a mallet or something?

Sign In No, you don't want to go hitting that that with any kind of hammer. They make an installer that will draw it in. You may be able to rent one at the parts store. I wouldn't expect to get that off with a socket and ratchet either. That will likely need a 1/2" drive impact gun to do that. Yes it is access from below the wheel well. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
