I had the same problem, in the mean time till u get a replacement pulley loosen the tension on the belt by loosening the idler pulley till when u get to full lock it squeaks thats stopped mine shredding belts till i get the part to fix it!!

The idler pulley is the one Bennoz is referring to in the thread you posted, but not the bit pictured. I can get the other pulley as well, but dont have a price for it atm. Will ask for a quote on that part as well.

The last idler pulley cost $72.42 to get to me. Id be guessing at about $15 postage to WA, but couldnt be sure until I got dimensions and weight.

No not yet it just shredded another belt after 1.5 months of being nice n not shredding. I suspect the harmonic balancer since its wobbling around a bit which is not normal as far as i know!
Will let u know when i work it out, sounds like u've got the same damn problem.

haha yeah maybe
but your belt lasted longer, the new belt didnt even last the day!

Just having a look at this and there doesnt seem to be any rubber involved in the crank pulley:

Still going to send through a request to get a quote. Found out tonight that Japan are on holliday this week, so may take a few days t a week to come back.

had another look tonight and it seems that its the tensioner pulley thats causing the problems
we can hear it rubbing as its been spun freely

OK, got a 2nd hand one of those that i can post straight away, or can order a new one for you (remember that Japan are on hollidays this week, so itll be a couple of weeks if you want a new one). I think I sent prices to you before.

havent got those prices yet mate
let us know once you get them
cheers

2nd hand one $30 + postage from me to you. New one $70 + postage from Japan (postage depends on weight and dimenstion of box it comes over in and how many other items are in the box. the last one of these i bought for someone ended up costing about $10 to get it to Australia and then another $10 to post from me to him.
