Not to alarm you, but if it goes it can cause other damage. I would get it addressed sooner rather than later.

VN's is correct, get that pulley in the scrap bin quickly; you don't want to be stranded with the pulley cutting into the steering rack and tossing the belt

My 97 has the same problem. It would be an easy job(disconnect the rack and move) but you need a 4 ton Gorilla to break that nut.My IR impact w/150psi would not budge it.I put it back together and kept on driving the heck out of it.I AINT SKERD !

Definitely fix it! I've seen what happens when they come off.

If anyone is interested, I have a brand new factory crank pulled in the sealed box. Paid $170, but will take any offers.

I've got a 24" breaker bar. Me on one side and a buddy on the other, and it broke loose pretty quickly.

Took mine into the dealer today for them to take look and estimate a repair if required after looking at it and fixing the squeal (a build up of rubber debris on the pulley), they advised that it is designed to have some movement in it, and although mine is moving a little more than specified they recommended that I dont fix it. I am going to get a cam anyway so this will just be fixed at that time. Jon
