But ... I'm pretty certain that's not it because a few days prior I now remember hearing a couple of faint clunks, but dismissed it thinking it was the brakes which have a tendency to that. Even so, it stuck in the back of my mind.

Either way ... good idea to start with the pulley before getting into the primary.

Thanks,
