Crankshaft pulley
Is the crankshaft pulley a two piece part? I m asking this cause today my serpentine belt snapped and I checked all pulleys and found that crankshaft pulley is out of alignment by 1/2 inch.
The crankshaft pulley stuck so far out that it's hitting the mechanical fan.
Look like pulley was pressed into middle inner part.
Can I fix it by attempting to press it back in, or do I have to buy a new pulley?
If I can buy it new. How much do it usually cost and is it a dealership only part?

On my 93 I didn't have to remove anything. Just don't forget to remove the washer after taking out the bolt... It's easier that way lol

I just rented a pulley press. You can rent both kits from most auto stores. Make sure you put the key back on the shaft and you line it up before cranking down on it.
I don't know how many miles you have on it, but you also might consider replacing the crank shaft oil seal while you have the balancer off.

The first time it took me a couple of hours. It can be difficult because the engine wants to turn while you're trying to take it off and when you're putting it back on.
I almost nearly messed up my threads as well because I forgot to/ didn't see the large washer.

it took me 30 minutes to complete it. Do not press to back on with the bolt, it is very easy to snap that bolt off in the crank then you will be very screwed. get the proper tool for it and it will make it much easier.
