Pulley Sheared Off

Asked by Noemi Oct 20, 2016 at 08:08 PM about the 1993 Volkswagen EuroVan 3 Dr GL Passenger Van

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hi all,
I was coming home from Waco and a mile or so from home heard a loud!
clunk under the engine. The battery light came on and thankfully I made it
home on battery.  When I got home I noticed that the serpentine belt was
dragging the ground.  A pulley broke off, or sheared off, leaving the bolt in
place. There is not enough room to fit a low profile elbow/90 degree drill
attachment into the area to try to drill the bolt out. Any ideas other than
drilling through the frame to get to it?
Many thanks,
Noemi Keresztyen Sharkey
