March 30, 200719 yr Does anyone know if a 2.2 crankshaft pulley will fit a 2.5 motor? my crankshaft pulley came loose and was wallowed out by the woodruff key.
March 30, 200719 yr not sure if they are interchangeable, but subarugenuineparts.com has one part that fits 95-05 1.8L, 2.0L, 2.2L, and another part for 96-98 2.5L.
March 30, 200719 yr Author are the underdrive aluminum pulleys ok for the 2.5?i see those going for about $45.
March 30, 200719 yr Author I am now thinking this pulley coming loose is what made my car die, has anyone ran into this problem before?
March 30, 200719 yr The OEM pulleys should be interchangeable. I have an (cheap - off ebay) underdrive pulley that I used on both a 97 OB 2.5 and a 90 Legacy 2.2.....I took it off the 2.2 as it was noisy, but seemed to help MPG on both. 2+ MPG on the 2.5.
March 30, 200719 yr Did the t-belt just get changed? Many times the wrong torque is used, it should be 125 ftlbs. Make sure you pull the damper and inspect the end of the crank shaft and the key that hold it and the crank gear in position. If there is no damage, use locktite and 125 ftlbs and you should be good to go.

March 31, 200719 yr Author is there a easy way to get the crankshaft sprocket off? ive broken 2 screwdrivers prying on it and it wont budge.i also do not see away to use a puller on it.
March 31, 200719 yr I am now thinking this pulley coming loose is what made my car die, has anyone ran into this problem before? it happend to me on a 93 2.2 legacy and later i noticed similar symptoms on a 95 2.2 legacy. i had some keyway damage on the crank on the 93, but the shop was able to "glue " it back together. although i've learned since then there are better ways. when it failed i had to get towed, it would turn over ,but didn't even come close to starting. the sympton on the 95 was an apparent wobble on the crank pulley bolt. when i showed it to the mechanic he was very pesimistic. he didn't think there was much hope. but it turned out with a new pulley, and bolt plus locktite and 125 ft/lbs it was good to go. so all you guys who have used subys and you don't know who did the timing belt, check out the crank pulley bolt while it's running. if it wobbles or looks off center get it fixed before it fails. just my opinion.

March 31, 200719 yr Steve: if using a puller is necessary (rust penetrants don't help) , you might try threading the holes in the sprocket. I had to use a puller on the pulley but not on the sprocket. A jaw-type puller did the job, after a great deal of fiddling.
March 31, 200719 yr The key is still in there and damaged right? Possibly the crank too? With some very carefull work you may be able to save yourself. Snap-On sells a pencil die grinder, basically an air powered Dremel tool. The bits for it fit in a dremel so you might be able too clean up the key and crank with it to get pulley off. You can get a new key but the crank is a bit more expensive so keep it off the crank unless absolutely neccesary. This is finicky work and one oops could blow the job so be steady and be ready to walk away to try later.
March 31, 200719 yr Author i finally got the crankshaft sprocket off.i had to pound chizzels in the back side of the sprocket.the crankshaft looks ok but im going to defintly get anouther seal .the keyway also looks good.im hoping the pulley coming loose is why my car wouldnt start its been down for 3 weeks now.tomorrow i will put it back together and see if it starts up.
March 31, 200719 yr Author after getting the crankshaft sprocket off ,i could see that the oil pump housing was messed up around the seal.will a 2.2 oil pump housing fit a 2.5 ?
March 31, 200719 yr It will fit, but may need a different O-ring for the outlet on the back, depending on the year. There was a thread with part numbers.
April 2, 200718 yr Author i went with the old oilpump housing and now it is leaking.atleast the car is running again eneded up being a blown 30 amp fuse in the engine compartment.
