The other day I was inspecting my car and noticed a decent amount of play in the water pump pulley. Just want to know if this pulley can be replaced or does the pump it self have to go aswell. The car itself has no overheating problems or anything like that.
Do you
have the same problem?
Yes
No

Pulleys don't go bad unless the bolt are just left loose. It's the water pump that causes that.

Ok, yeah as I watched it spin with the car running you can see it actually wobble back and forth.
