Problem with crank pully...

[Haywire]

I've got a 1995 Camry LE, 2.2L, auto transmission, 320K miles. I heard a funny noise Saturday and opened the hood and saw a slight wobble in the crank pully. There wasn't anything I could do at the time, and silly me, it didn't seem that serious. This morning (Monday), I was on my way to work when it threw the alt/air conditioning belt (it had been chewed up) and the power steering V-belt. The wobble was much more serious.

Any thoughts? How likely is it this is just the pully and/or harmonic balancer (I assume there's one there)? Could there be a problem with the crank shaft? What's involved in replacing that pully? If I can do it, what else should I replace at the same time?

replace the damnper and the belts.

is it possible the crank pulley bolt broke loose? the pulley is pretty easy to replace, but with 320k miles i dont know if it could be something else like a crank shaft bearing closest to the pulley?

other things to consider replacing -
- power steering and alternator belts
- timing belt and water pump, since for me the removal of the crank pulley was the hardest part.

I would guess what ghettosled said, maybe the bolt came loose. Or perhaps the pulley is broken too.
The front of the crankshaft is super strong, so it's not likely it is warped. I think the crank would almost have to break first for it to bend even the slightest amount. So i wouldnt worry much about that.
Just change the pulley and you will probably be fine. The pulley should slide onto the nose of the crank with some resistance, i.e. it should fit tightly. If not maybe the old pulley shaved off a bit metal (hope not though). Check that when you put the new one on, you DO NOT want the new pulley loose on the crank. If it is loose, you might want to shim it or something...

You would be changing the belts of course. You might also want to change the timing belt if it is due, since the crank pulley is off. Hopefully the wobbly pulley didnt affect it the timing belt but its easy to check for you at this point,ince the belts are off.
ust unbolt the timing belt covers and have a look at the timing belt.

its a 2 piece balancer, the rubber between the 2 pieces is probably bad, replace the balancer and drive belts.
