Front Key Way (Front Pulley)
Quick question on the front pulley
After pulling the front eccentric shaft pulley off and making sure the Key way key was in place, I placed the new Front pulley on. It did not fit correctly, so i pulled it off to realign it again. After pulling it off the Key slightly pulled out and is now unable to be pushed back in.
From my understanding this caused the thrust bearing to fall down and block the key's entrance... Is this correct or does anyone have a suggestion on how to place the key back in?
The photos had a error so I am unable top post photos
Thanks

Is the motor in the car?
If it is you must push the clutch pedal down to hold the bearings in place. The key does not keep the bearings from falling down.
Do not tighten the front pulley hub / E-shaft bolts if there is a chance the bearings dropped.
I just had to fix an rx8 motor that someone did the same thing on.
