He put it up on the lift and showed me. The rubber part in the center of the
pully is all cracked and about an inch around the circumference there is no
rubber at all that I can see. When the engine is running it is slightly
wobbling. And it`s in a real tight spot. He showed me on a Taurus how easy
it is to get to it. But on the Vette it`s inches from the front of what
looks like the frame.
BTW, do you know the URL for Corvette TSB`s?
