The pulley is no more difficult to replace than it is to re-torque the flex plate bolts or replace the water pump. It's actually a lot easier than the water pump. Took me about two hours including taking pretty pictures but not including the time it took me to borrow the puller from Auto Zone.

 

Me too.

Tee Hee

 

LOL. I just read your sig. Is that new? If nothing else, it's very true!!!

 

It is new. And fitting.

 

I wonder who/what prompted that. LOL.

 

UPDATE: took the serpentine belt off and the sound goes away, put it back on tightened everything that should be and the sound persists. took the water pump off and will be putting a new one on either today or tomorrow, ill post a pic of the waterpump later.
