mikec03 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I just took off the off the crankshaft pulley on a 95 subaru, 200k miles. The rubber ring in the pulley is cracked every 1/2", on the radius, but otherwise looks oK. No doubt it's the original pulley. I don't understand what the rubber ring is for, but the car has been operating fine. Is there any problem with reinstalling it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I think it's just there as a dampener. I'd put a different one on, make sure it's TIGHT. If that rubber separates your accessories belts will stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davebugs Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I have one used one left. I'd probably just buy new. Dorman used to have a Chinese one that wasn't priced too badly when I priced them. Not a sophisticated part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
