1995 Sc300 Crank Pulley Problem

[backyardbill]

Gentlemen and ladies,

I just bought my first Lexus. The a/c compressor clutch froze up on caused the drive belt pulley to come off the crankshaft damper. Have a look here:

Has anyone ever seen this happed before? I have never encountered this happening to any other car. A new pully costs a lot (over $400 at the local dealer). And I really don't want to put on one of the "under" pulleys.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

PS: I really like this car and I can't wait to get it on the road.

yes....i have seen this before and it is shot, do not attemp to reassemble

2 options salvage yard used (dont recommend) or buy an aftermarket cheaper than stealership
