    Hi Tony
    1995 Porsche 911 Carrera
    78k miles
    WP0AA2990SS320635
    I’m posting here because I only get a 404 – Page not found error when clicking on the link to the Air cooled 911 Forum. We had a 993 towed in with a broken alternator pulley, the inner half came off in pieces.
    It still has the old 72mm pulley.
    The Inner spacer and shims are discolored due to heat.
    I noticed the fan blade does wobble a little bit when spinning the alt shaft by hand.
    I’ve measured 0.1mm shaft run out.
    The customer says that another shop replaced the belts a couple of weeks ago.
    Is this a common issue with improper belt tension causing the pulley to overheat and bend the alternator shaft?
    Thanks
    Chris
