hi, sorry to activate an old thread but i didnt want to start a new one, but i've had the same problem as above.
Do i need a speacial tool or anything to remove the crank pulley,
and would the following be the right part... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/93-94-95-96...sspagenameZWD2V
Not sure if thats the correct part, im pretty sure it was mounted on a spline. Garage told me it was a really tough job removing securing bolt.

Ok so if getting a new one is the way to go, can i get a pattern part (and where from) or do i have to go to lexus/toyota.
any idea how much a new one would be?
ill start looking tomorrow, had a quote for salvaged part, he wants £70, which i thought was a bit excessive.
ill try local toyota dealer tomorrow, is gs300 crankshaft pulley the same as any other toyota (supra etc) or will i have to get lexus?
cheers

Do you mean the cam belt has to come off to replace the pulley?
The AA man said it was just a matter of chocking the engine still and removing the bolt in the center of the pulley and replacing the pulley. cam belt was replaced 20,000 miles ago, so should be fine still.
i was hoping access would be the only problem.

:duh: Got my gs300 3 weeks ago, very happy until today. i decided to give her a bit of stick as ive driven like an old woman since ive had her. bugger shes fast, but "CLONK" no power steering and fan belt whine.
Got AA out, after a few mins looking we found the outer ring from the the crank pulley, the rubber donut had just given up and the outer ring was in the panel under the front of engine. Luckily no other damage but i have no power steering and squeaky fanbelt till pulley is changed (not really safe to drive).
So does anyone have a crankshaft pulley for sale for an N reg, late 95 gs300, or can you point me in the direction of a reasonably priced one .
Also do i have to remove radiator and all other bits to change, or can i come from underneath to do the job.
Thanks

Mmmm try again, didnt work last time..
The misses left the aerial up on my mk1 gs300 last w/e in the car wash, so now its knackered.
Can i just replace the inner part or does the whole thing have to be changed.
Cheers
