Very nice Family wagon, lol. Gotta love those real fast 4-doors.

 

when you are buying the crank pulley tool there a miller tool for installing the front seal to the correct depth. cost me 11$ on ebay. i would dry install the seal also

 

Thanks.....yea the old family truckster makes the C32 feel weak. VERY fun car and you can't beat the rear facing 3rd seat.

 

Hey guys, check this out. We replaced the crank pulley yesterday. Talk about failure. Mind you the car only has 47K miles on it. New on left, old on right. Rubber was gone and the rest of the pulley had moved foward by about 1/2". She's running strong now and I dodged a bullet. Thanks for everyones help and check your pulleys.

Yeah your lucky, I was at 6000 grabbing gears when I had a pulley come off, very interesting and a bit noisy. Fixed it and all is good a year later. Woody

 

im going to guess youn used a brand new crank bolt and torque was 150 ft/lbs plus 90* correct?

 

You are correct Sir!

 

Chalk a big win up to hcarter. Howard isn't it?
Send this guy a bottle of his favorite brewsky.
