Is this even possible?
I'll skip the long story but my trusted assistant managed to shave the dampener off of a crankshaft pulley. (By improperly bracing it while someone else (ahem) tried to break the bolt loose.
Just one of those bone-headed things that can happen in the heat of battle with a mechanical beast. He said, "Oh! I've got it!", as in, *I found a way to brace it*. I did not check his discovery and this was the result. I guess that is the long story.
It's from a 3.0 Mitsubishi V-6, if that matters. (It doesn't). A new pulley is ~$350.00 dealer list. The break is clean, (the two parts fit together perfectly), is there anything that will bond vulcanised rubber, or whatever the ** this is? There is really no force on this thing once it's installed.
TIA as always!
