My belts jumped off the other day and today I got new belts and when I went to put them on I noticed two pulleys were missing... So I need these two parts number 4 pulley and the one next to it without a number can someone help?

There's meant to be 4 pulleys I think

That looks like the air conditioning compressor from what I can tell. The other one is the belt tensioner. I have a brand new belt tensioner on the shelf. Are the bolts sheared off or are they just short a nut?

Nah the bolts are fine just the nuts thank god and um what about the one above the tensioner to the left it's like a double pulley.. It's wriggling around like sh*t and I assume it's bearings are shot I need all these parts if you have some of what I need I'll take them and otherwise where could I get the rest and whats there part numbers?

Went to supercheap repco and autobarn and they all said they have nothing they can help me with. I need the harmonic balancer pulley, aircon compressor pulley and the tensioner pulley and all the nuts. This is gonna be a bit costly isn't it if I have to go to Mitsubishi

The double pulley is the crankshaft Pulley. Dont think its got a bearing in it.

Oh okay but it's all wobbly and moves around like crazy

dayum didnt u buy the car with a rwc?

Nope was gonna get one from my mechanic friend but it'll be delayed now lucky I like ftos or else I would punch it

PM Sent.....

lol should never buy a car unless it has rwc or atleast a failed one so u know whats wrong. unless ofcourse its like a $1000 car so u cant lose.

Mehhhh it's a mivec manual so and he told me there was something wrong with the belts I just didn't think the pulleys would be fucked swell lol

Anyways does anyone know how to take the crankshaft pulley off do you have to put it in gear or something?

Is the bolt on the crankshaft pulley actually tight? ie put a socket on it and see if you can easily undo it.

Correct, the harmonic balance / crank pulley is just done up by the big bolt in the middle. Check it's done up tight. Its only slid onto the crank via a keyway. The A/C clutch your missing (lol) is simply a nut to put on.

Nah the crank pulley bolt I can move but the whole crank inside moves that's why I was just wondering if it had to be in gear or something and what do you mean just a nut for the a/c clutch? Doesn't it need a new pulley? The a/c compressor is fucked anyway so I'll just
Swap the whole thing out

Got the crank pulley off it'll be fun putting a new one on though

I can see this is going to end in disaster

Do yourself a favour and download the manuals for starters

And when you put that crank pulley back on make sure you use a torque wrench

Lol nah f**k that I'll get a mechanic to put all the pulleys on except for the tensioner I know how to do that one lol

Is this where we quietly back out of the thread?

If ya got the balancer bolt off without locking the pulley or using an impact wrench it was defiantly loose.
