To run my post count up.

 

Dayum, 4 new tires and you can still afford internet service? Looks like we got some of them there rich kinfolk ya'll.

 

Chester, rumor has it your post is up a bunch.

 

I'm easily excited...

 

Checkin in, not sure why, but I am, okay. Cool, good. ah ....what was I doing?

 

hey Mark. The diagnoses of my 98 WG is not good.
Can actually wiggle the drive pulley by hand, so it seems a bearing and/or seal is gone. Perhaps the new belt I put on last summer (2013) was too tight, or maybe just a freak thing. 38,000 miles.
Not sure if there is tranny damage, and I'm out of town working until end of Dec, so she sits.
Will keep you up to date.

Anybody else getting tired of working today? Only noon here on the West Coast...

 

Heyyyy watch where you are pointing that sign!

 

oh mannn, that didn't work out either

 

WouldWood captures #21212 and no one even cares? Not a hint of celebration? Screw it, let's ban post counts....oops, I think I'm over 21000 posts too late for that. Never mind.

 

Pulley nut is tight and the pulley is loose, you could get lucky and it may just be some worn out splines on the pulley itself, beats the heck out of a main bearing. If it's the main bearing then the whole thing has to come apart.
