Pulley problem

[7gSoldier]

hi. My 7g Galant has a bad belt squeal when I first start it and eats through a belt about every 3 weeks. I've had several people look at it and we think it's because the pulley which drives the Alternator and A/C belts is dinged up and has some rough texture in the ribbing. Problem is I can not find a replacement anywhere. Does anybody know where I can find one or atleast what the part number/technical name might be?

u might wanna check the junkyard u might find some good ones there if ur lucky............ A/C pulley and altenator pulley are the proper names for them

Which pulley is exactly "damaged"? Make sure also your crank pulley (Harmonic Balancer) is in good shape...they are known to fail. Due to the crank pulley being most exposed to road elements, oil leaks, and time in general will make the rubber insulator weak and the seperate from the actual ring of the pulley.

Just check which pulley needs replacing and replace it. Good Luck

X2 I had the same problem. I bought a new harmonic balancer and it went away.
