nevinnh Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 2008 Legacy, 2.5L. I have a stubborn oil leak that I believe was caused by the oil pump seal against the block. So, as I was removing the pump I screwed up and popped off a tooth on the crank pulley (see the picture). Are the teeth used by a sensor? So, do I need a new crank pully? Thanks.

GeneralDisorder Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Yes you need a new crank sprocket. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Those two holes are there for you to tap threads into them and use a puller to remove the sprocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montana tom Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Under normal conditions that sprocket should slide off without a puller. As you already broke a tooth just use a screwdriver to move it off the crankshaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Yep, that's the tone wheel for the crank angle sensor. It's junk now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 WAIT! - there MIGHT be a way to knock some more teeth off, then use it on a 90s car! LOL! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
