Stock crank pully Q I've emailed alot of the sponser's on the side here and no one has answered me yet so maybe you all can help.
A few months back I installed the Polly Trans mount and since then when getting on it at around 3 to 4 grand it fells as though the engune is going to shake apart.
Now YA I know that the new mount is a hella lot stiffer than my worn out stock but still it seems excesive so I took a look at the engine and noticed that the crank pully has what looks like a rubber band (black O-ring looking rubber) pressed in it but at one point a section of it is preesed in further.
Q: is this. Is that 0-ring my balancing material? and if so should I replace the crank pully?
If so I want to put stock back on so how much should I look forward to?
Thx for any help
see sig for details
oop's thought I put A4 in the sig sorry

Re: Stock crank pully Q mines all stock from factory so I have no idea what you mean by back plate. But none the less thanks for the part # info.
Now. Is this hard to remove and put anew one on. Please keep in mind my base hobby shop SUCKS so tools are extreemly limited.
Any further help would be great.

Re: Stock crank pully Q You will need a three jaw puller to get the pulley off. The hard part is losening the bolt, it takes quite a bit of muscle. I had to put the handle from my jack on my wrench to get the extra torque leverage.
The backing plate was part of the poly transmission mount.

Re: Stock crank pully Q How did you install the poly tans mount? Did you use the backing plate or grind the bumps off of the back of it. I use to have that terrible vibration also, until I got rid of the backing plate and smoothed out the bumps....
I dont think you can replace just the rubber, but gmpartsdirect.com has the whole pulley for $45. 98-02 Crank pulley balancer #12553118
