OK, got it back together and running....SWEET!! Just in time for desert season. Now just to change the fluids and get some tires. Thanks to everyone here, and especially to you nckwltn. Sending those extra keepers was awesome! Maybe we'll meet on the trail sometime. BTW, do you have the special crankshaft pulley tool or did you improvise? I used a strap wrench to hold the pulley while my buddy graciously stepped in to torque the bolt. Difficult, and I'm sure not the best thing for the harmonic balancer...any brilliant ideas?
