Crank pully wobble

250 ft lbs if you have the 1 1/4 head and if you have the 13/16 bolt o believe it is 180 ft lbs but I will double check. Yeah if you dont put that damn thing on perfectly straight your gonna chew the end up on it mine was under warranty so I did not try to clean it up if it is to gauged then it won't be true as far as balance and the aren't cheap.

press her back on . lock tite and torque the sucker down and youll be fine.., mine came right off and wrecked the balancer put on a new one and its all good...
 
Nice to have this forum to discuss these things - put alot of arm into it and it did move back some, and reduced the wobble, but still sticking out about 2 ribs worth on the belt - dont want to over do it, but still had the tension on the pulley - not sure how much more to torque on it for fears of breaking it off - but still better than hand tight. More to come, think I'll release the tensioner and pull it off to inspect, then torque it down to spec, but feels like I am already applying more than 150 ft lbs just to get it back to where it should be. Think I caught it in time as not to bugger up the crank end, but we'll see
 
Mine got worse

Yesterday out of the blue mine got a lot worse. I have been checking it religiously since I started this thread. The first time my ballancer had 0 wobble.
Yesterday morning I noticed the pully acting up again and on the next stop noticed the ballancer acting up . I was 1 mile from the dealer so i weighed in my options. Get it toed to the house, or drive it to the dealer . I knew that It needed to be done right and fast before I did damage so I dropped it off at the stealer. :dontknow: :dontknow: Just to big of a risk to drive it any more , I know time to do it my self with the limited tools I have.

Good news is that they said the crank was fine, and tomorrow or Friday I will be back up and running with a 12 mounth warranty on the offending bolt. If you have a different ride fix it your self and save some cheader , If not get it fixed before it really does some damage.
