[MBZ] crank balancer/pulleys

[l02turner@comcast.net]

Kaleb,
Isn't there a key under that pulley?  I guess it's possible it has sheared 
but I cannot imagine what would force it to do that -
I would guess it's the crankshaft pulley since that one turns the others. 
Maybe it fell out somehow?  But that would mean the nut & flat washer is 
missing IIRC.

Sincerely,
