[TR] pulley failure update

[Bob]

Well I decided to install the spare lower pulley tonight and I almost guessed 
the time correctly. I thought it would take 3 hours, ended up taking up 2.5.

Refilled with new antifreeze and ran the engine until it reached normal temp 
and then let it run on high idle for about 5 minutes to make sure everything 
was ok. SFSG.

After taking the broken pulley apart I noticed the crack was about 1.5 inches 
longer than the 2" piece that was thrown out.

When I get a few spare minutes, I will take a photo and post it on the forum.

I plan to keep this part as a reminder!

When I was assembling the spare pulley on the shaft, I noticed that one of the 
bolts was stripped. Must of happened at the factory as I never did take this 
apart. Maybe the stripped bolt led to the fracture because it was not as tight 
as the rest? We will most likely never know.

If this happens again, I will switch to the 1/2 inch system. Now can that be 
done with the stock generator and water pump? If so where do I source the 
parts?

Thanks for all your help.
