I knew the new woodruff key was coming in today so this morning I went out and got ready for the new one. I pulled off the belts and the pulley and removed the damper. But I could see no keyway cut in the crankshaft. This could only mean one thing I had the type of crankshaft that used 2 slot cut, 1 for each key. And I had them both in place already. All that worry and not driving for nothing.........
But I did take pictures!
This shows the key in position behind the seal.
The homemade wrench put on.
The bolt made hand tight.
The breaker bar put on. Here I put my foot on the handle and pressed as hard as I could 3 times until it stopped moving. I used my hands on the spring to gain some leverage. I frelling hope it is tight enough!
Then the pulley was replaced and the waterpump/alternator belt installed and tensioned.
Lastly the power steering belt was installed and tensioned. Then I started it up and made sure it was all working OK!
Fingers crossed!
