So I was trying to change the seal on the fan Hub, Big leak, when tring to remove the fan hub from the crank it required a puller and an indordinate amount of pressure to break free. Once it had broken free I found that the crank keyway had sheared and was in two pieces. This had happened prior to our buying the car but is one more thing that has shown up during the Tune-Up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) and leak fix that keeps growing with leaps and bounds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) . any Ideas on cause?

Mine was not that badly galled, it was a clean shear and the key came out in two parts. The fan is missing a blade so I'm thinking really unbalanced? or maybe the PO had an alternator lock-up and seized the hub? really soft non-standard key? I don't know.
Cap'n Which "PS, don't forget the o-ring"? are you talking about? more possible "Mekanik werkins" from the PO? Who needs thisitis? |
