Help! Under pulley moved.
99 FRC Vette, my under pulley has seemed to moved forward about 1/4" -3/8" forward. My belts do not align with each other and under pulley than is not aligned. How do I get to the crank bolt not much room any ideas. Please help

Unfortunately it is a big job. Go to LS1Howto.com and check the C5 heads and cam change. The beginning of the procedure shows you how to do this. In a nutshell, you will need to remove the steering rack. It is not hard, but it is a lot of work. Plan on a day to do the job (I work slow)

Hopefully installing a new bolt will fix the problem. If the inside of the pulley is worn from spinning on the crank, it may not fit correctly and have to be replaced with a new one.

I have the same problem after cam swap on my stock pulley. I tried to move the rack over and up from under the car. Has anyone moved the rack only to get to the bolt?
If not I will pull the hood, and go at it like another cam swap. Just wanted to take a short cut! I got a new bolt and will get a new stock balancer. I will use locktite this time. Any ideas on the shortcut?
