How to Replace a Crank Shaft Pulley From a Mitshibusi Eclipse 2000

The Mitsubishi Eclipse is a coupe that Mitsubishi Motors has produced since 1990 in the United States. The 2000 model is a third-generation Eclipse, which includes the 2000 through 2005 models. The 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse is available with either a four-cylinder 2.4-liter engine or a six-cylinder 3.0-liter engine. The procedure for replacing the crankshaft pulley in a 2000 Eclipse varies slightly, depending on the engine size.

Instructions

1

Remove the negative battery cable with a socket wrench to keep the engine from starting during the crankshaft pulley replacement.

2

Turn the belt tensioner counterclockwise to relieve the tension on the accessory drive belts. Remove the drive belts from around the crankshaft pulley.

3

Raise the vehicle, and support it on jack stands. Disconnect the right front wheel with a lug wrench to access the crankshaft pulley. Remove the splash shield from the right front fender with a socket wrench.

4

Remove the bolts that attach the crankshaft pulley to the crankshaft sprocket with a socket wrench, if your vehicle has a 2.4-liter engine. Disconnect the center retaining bolt from the crankshaft pulley, if your vehicle has a 3.0-liter engine. Attach a suitable puller to the crankshaft pulley, and remove it from the crankshaft.

5

Align the key way on the new crankshaft pulley with the key on the crankshaft, and mount the pulley to the crankshaft.

6

Fasten the crankshaft pulley to the crankshaft sprocket with the retaining bolts, if your vehicle has a 2.4-liter engine. Fasten the center mounting bolt to the crankshaft pulley, if your vehicle has a 3.0-liter engine.

7

Tighten the retaining bolts to 18 foot-pounds with a torque wrench for a 2.4-liter engine. Tighten the center mounting bolt to between 108 and 116 foot-pounds for a 3.0-liter engine.

8

Connect the splash shield to the right front fender with a socket wrench, and install the wheel with a lug wrench. Lower the vehicle, and mount the accessory drive belts. Adjust the tension on the drive belts by turning the tensioner clockwise. Attach the negative battery cable.
