URGENT!! Sheared SC pulley pins. What now??
Finally got the SC bolt to free and it looks like the two little pins that go through the washer sheared off.

The disc also shot across the garage, but I haven't found the spring yet.

What do I need to do??

I got a trip coming up on Tuesday and really need the car.

Please help!

Thanks

sounds like you need to contact who you got the pulley from to see if you have a warranty?

Those look like the dowel pins
If its that it's not a big deal, just bolt up as usual

You can source some more dowel pins. If not you can put the blot back without them.

They are for alignment only. No worries. Put it back together and go.

Great! Thanks guys.

I guess there was no spring then. The washer must have still been spinning from my impact wrench and took off across the floor

You are correct... There is no spring, just a washer behind the bolt. And yes, the pins are just for alignment.
