97 Tiburon Was doing a timing belt change and the woodruff key snapped off There a loud clank now when turning the car over the cam and crank do not move What are the chaces I messed up crankvalves?
if the cam and crank are not turning you cannot mess up the valves BUT if the crank is not turning ,you have a major problem,as the starter motor turns the crankthe crank should tun regardless of the woodruff key falling out at the same time if the crank turns and the cam doesnt the timing will be wrong and need the woodruff key replaced to keep cam and gears where they need to be

How do you remove a broken woodruff key on the crankshaft of a 1995 Geo Metro?
If the crank shaft is in the engine and if the engine is in the car I would put the car up on jack stands ( for safety). Remove the water pump pulley. That will allow you to remove the v-belt easily. Remove the plastic mud shield on the passenger side of the engine. Then remove the crankshaft pulley ( it is probably already off and you are working on the woodruff key that was indexing the crank pully). Make sure that you rotate the engine such that the key is pointing down. Be sure that you stuff a rag in around the snout of the crankshaft such that when the key breaks out of the keyway it cannot fall into the oil pan. The way I have gotten stubborn keys out of keyways was to go after them with a small hammer and punch. I try to worm the punch under the key which will lift the end of the key and make it easier to grasp and remove. Frankly I have never failed to get a key out of a keyway. Generally they are only a slight interference fit.
Harmonic balancer pulley?
it is a pulley located on the front end of the crankshaft,ussually at the bottom of the engine.this pulley is the one that drives the accesories and drives the oil pump on some cars.it is held on to the crankshaft by a bolt wich is right hand threaded on most engines.also has a seal and a woodruff key,the seal will keep the oil from leaking and the key so the pulley does not turn around.and it is also called crankshaft pulley.
What pulley drives alternator belt What is wrong if this pulley isn't turning?

What does the woodruff key look like?

Why would the pulley to the block of a car not be moving?
clear as mudpullies are normally attached to an engines crank either by being directly bolted to the nose of the crank which has a taper machined into it and is retained by the pressure exerted by the attaching bolt which screws into the nose of the crank. The other method is to fit the pulley over the crank nose which has a valley or keyway machined along about an inch or so along the length of the nose and then place the pully onto the crank nose and line up a corresponding machined keyway in the pully and insert a metal key into the space created by the keyways. pullies will remain stationary if a key fails or is sheared,or if the pully bolt has fallen out and the pully has become loose on a tapered crank or the other cause is when the rubber dampener which circles the mid section of the pulley perishes thru from contamination by fuel and oil etc the crank continues to rotate with affecting the pulley. so there,it is ,clear as mud. razmo ANS 2 -If this pulley is not moving, the crankshaft is not turning.
1996 geo tracker idles good feed it gas bogs down no power?
check the timing belt. or on the 1996-1998 the crankshaft bolt comes loose and shears woodruff key in crank shaft.
How do you remove the vibration damper pulley for ford escort 1.9 1994?
The vibration damper pulley and the crankshaft pulley are pressed together with a rubber sleeve. They are held onto the crank by a key and keyway. I've never had to use a puller. Usually when you take the bolt out of the crank it will just wiggle off. I've never had one on their that tight that it wouldn't come off just with my hands.
How do you pull crankshaft pulley from VW?
It's pretty easy on an aircooled engine. The bolt that holds it on doesn't get very tight, so what you need to do is to lock the crank pulley somehow--I've done it by just squeezing the belt together real tight with my hand--and removing the bolt with a 30mm socket. If you stil On a watercooled engine you'll need an impact wrench. In either case, once the bolt is out the pulley slides off the crank. You might need a puller on a watercooled engine; I never have used one on an aircooled engine--you can normally just wiggle the pulley a little and it slides off. Helpful hint: on an aircooled car put a little high-temp grease on the end of the crank before you put the pulley back on. There's a Woodruff key in there so it won't spin around, but it will make getting it on and off easier. I wouldn't do it on a watercooled car because on those there isn't anything to keep the pulley from spinning except for LOTS and LOTS of torque on the bolt.
