JX crank pulley

Post by superdes »

I have been aware that my crank pulley has quite a wobble to it when spinning. I never thought too much about it until I started reading horror stories of crank bolts coming loose and mashing up the gear. This prompted me to take the thing off and thankfully (I think) it appears that the outer pulley isn't parallel to the inner one causing it to wobble.
I have had a look round for a replacement and can't find anything like the one I took off. I am now wondering if this is indeed the correct pulley in the first place. Would a jx without ac or pas ever have a double pulley? All the double pulleys I have seen have the smaller one on the outside whereas mine is the other way round. I will try and post a picture but am doing this on my phone so not sure it'll work. Any advice and experience as always is much appreciated.

If you dont have aircon or ps you should be able to fit any pulley
I think generally they're all double pulleys

Thanks for the reply. Brickwerks offer two pulleys. A single one and a double for vans with power steering (but this has the small pulley on the outside). I have scoured the Internet but have yet to see a jx with a pulley like mine which is is why I suspect it isn't the correct one. Unfortunately I can't make out the part number to check.

Diameter of the pulley doesn't matter as it'll be taken up when adjusting the belt tension. Run the single belt unless you arent already, makes life easier
