Mitsubishi Repair: Crank Pulley Replacement, oem specs, decent shape


Question
Dear Sir, I own a 1994 Eclispe GS DOHC 2.0.  My Crank Pulley Broke and I was woundering what I can expect to pay to get it replaced.  I can obtain a pulley for around $65.00.  I don't want to use one from the junkyard but would like your advice on this work.  Thanks

Answer
Wallace,
A new OEM crank pulley would go for about $100-$130 from the dealership.  If you do obtain a used pulley from a junk yard, it may still be in decent shape, but look for any chips or cracks.  But if you can get a pulley for $65, be sure it meets OEM specs in size and design.

It's not a difficult job to replace a crank pulley, but it can be time consuming.  The mechanic would need to remove all the drive belts, A/C tensioner, and timing belt covers.  Look for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours in labor time.  You can ask your mechanic for a labor rate and estimated time.
Good luck!
