Incidentally, my jimny had started to make A Noise when revved hard in first gear to pull away sharply, a sort of graunchy buzzy howl, just like a worn needle roller in the gearbox. (I was going to buy a set of bearings and rebuild the gearbox when I do the clutch this Summer, I'd checked for loose heatshields and stuff already))

It seems to have stopped now, and I notice at least half of the rubber left on the pulley is all polished :whistle:

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

Cheers,

If I'd known the old one was breaking loose, I could have run superglue round the splitline and repaired it. while it was still on ;)

still, If I'd known how easy chopping the washer off would make it I'd have just bought the new bolt and had it changed a week ago :whistle:

SOTA don't forget to ensure all the pulleys grooves are free from debris i.e. rubber, rust etc by wire brushing them till they are shiny!

Fantastic how-to, thanks for the details.

Not sure when I'll get space to carry out repairs, I've refilled the water. With no water pump spinning will it be safe to start the engine just to manoeuvre the jimny into a place where I can work on it?
