crank pulley came off .. how?
so yesterday i was driving i was at a stop light.. i heard a clunk.. lost power steering and everything.. seen a pulley roll across the street in my rear view mirror.. i pulled over seen that the ring around the crankshaft pulley had came off.. i ran into the street to get the ring.. slid it back on.. put my belt back on.. drove it home.. my question is how did the ring come off?.. and how does it stay on? .. im sure it doesnt just slide on and stay.. help please.

this is a common issue. the rubber 'damping' material wears out and seperates the grooved pulley from the whole assembly. youll need to buy a newer one since that one will fall apart again.

i agree with biggu.
and to replace youll need the crank pulley tool. you can do it by using the starter method, which is putting a breaker bar up to the frame and crankin the motor over loosening the bolt. but to reinstall youll wanna torque it down. thats where the pulley tool comes in.
