Crankshaft pully fell off - HELP!! I may call it quits. 1982 300SD
As it turns out both of my previous posts are wrong. It metallic clanging noise was not the AC Compressor or the Power Steering pump but the crankshaft pully - the main pully has come off. It is dangling by one bolt.
I am not technical enough to know how to fix this. I fear the engine may have to be pulled. It was running fine when I turned it off. This explains why the power steering failed. At least I was across the street from my house when this happened and the car is in my driveway.
It will have to be towed unless I can learn how to fix this myself. I am guessing a bolt sheared off.
How is the pully attatched and how to I remove it?
I fear this may be the end. I am at the point of fixing and selling the car for what I can get out of it and get a Volkswagon diesel station wagon. I have an exhaust leak and the $130 pipe just came. Just spent at least $500 on the airconditioning repair and then this happened. I am so close to putting the for sale sign in the car unless someone can convince me otherwise.
