****UPDATE NEW PICSbroken waterpump pulley? **pics
[SIZE=7][COLOR=red]UPDATE!!! PAGE 2
Hey guys, i need some help here.
today i noticed a very obvious sound coming from under the hood. when i opened the hood the sound seemed the be coming from this pulley (i think its the waterpump pulley)
upon further inspection of this pulley i noticed that its partially cracked and that there are supposed to be 3 bolts holding it in place, and there are only 2.
I put up a few pics some show the crack better than others. I also included a video, that shows the pulley and theawful sound.
Is this pulley the culprit?? Has anybody else had this problem? if the pulley is the problem, is it difficult to replace? Is there a DIY on it?

If I get a new water pump pulley from the dealer will it come with new bolts?
It looks like the head of the 3rd bolt broke off!! Once I remove the 2 remaining bolts and romove the pulley,will I be able to remove the stud of te 3rd bolt using pliers?
Is there a DIY for removing the WP pulley?

Once I remove the 2bolts will the pulley come right off?
After I remove the pulley I guess that's when the belt will have enough slack to be removed, right?

if you don't know how to do any of this, bring it to a mechanic...before you break more stuff
