Lost keyway..

[Ollgeeze]

In the middle of a timing belt service and there appears to have been no keyway on the crankshaft pulley from a previous service.. Can anyone recommend where I can get one? Looked on all the z websites and been local auto dealers and no luck. I've messaged a few breakers on ebay too but I think they just don't want to sell me such a small component..

Nissan do sell them quite cheaply, chances are it dropped out as without a key the pulley would spin even with a tight bottom bolt, check in the under the car in the pulley its self to see if its jammed in the key-way, as usually water has been dropped out when doing the job did you have a a bowl or similar underneath it? it maybe in there.

OK, I'll have to get one from them. It's was my old man actually that took the pulley off but he said he was careful and put some paper underneath.. But it's possible it got lost.. Thanks for the help.

Part number Nissan 00926-51900 got a feeling they come in packs of five.

 

Picture below of what it looks like, called a woodruff - key

My buddy had the same issue with a missing woodruff key here in South Africa and the local nissan agent did not stock one for a 300zx but said the 350z woodruff key was the same...so he bought it and fitted perfectly..... was cheap as well.

Thanks for the help both. Very appreciated. I'll get a 350z one from the dealer. :D
