I have a '99 Chrysler Sebring Convertible Jxi 2.5 V6 (63945 mi).
The serpentine belt broke. While checking out the belt I noticed that crankshaft pulley looked odd. The pulley turns 2 belts - the powersteering (outer) and the serpentine (inner). It looks as if it is a wheel in a wheel with rubber between. The portion of the pulley that turns the serpentine belt (inner) was loose and I can see rubber. I can move and even spin the inner portion of the pulley with my hand.
Is it broken?
If so is that something I can replace?
Thanks

That pulley is called a Harmonic Balancer and it is broken. You just need to replace the balancer which you will likely need a special puller for.

Thanks for the reply. It's a tight space, can I access it through the wheel well?
As far as tools goes, it looks like there's one bolt holding the pulley so I'll need a socket and ratchet, the special tool you mentioned. What about installing the new pulley, does it just slip in or will i need a mallet or something?

No, you don't want to go hitting that that with any kind of hammer. They make an installer that will draw it in. You may be able to rent one at the parts store. I wouldn't expect to get that off with a socket and ratchet either. That will likely need a 1/2" drive impact gun to do that. Yes it is access from below the wheel well.
