1997 buick century how to remove crankshaft pulley

[davey46ca]

My wifes Buick Crankshaft pulley weld came off and pulley slid off the housing .
Just wonder if jb weld will hold pulley from sliding around or should I replace it ?
Is it hard to replace ?

Thanks

My wife and I own 2 buicks and have problems lately with them DAve sense chinese new year

Pulley weld? The pulley on the 3.1? is bolted on.

Easier to see pictures of the problem I have . The pulley sleeve came off.
Just wondered if jb weld would have enough strength to hold the sleeve from coming off again or just buy a new pulley ?

You absolutely need a new pulley!!

Thanks for input . I pulled off the old one with a puller ,came off with ease . Had to take passenger wheel off and plastic fender shield near the crankshaft pulley . shopped around and got a new one for 85 dollars . Buick is running good now .
