Properly diagnosing problems

To avoid the possiblilty of wasting time and money.

An extreeme example of "jerry rugging" a repair. Done by me.

My youngest brother brought me a Toyota Pickup he had owned for a while. He had a clutch problem, didn't want to disengage completely.

Everything seemd to be working fine until I saw that when he pushed the clutch pedal in and out.

THE FRONT CRANKSHAFT PULLY WAS MOVING FOREWARD AND BACKWARD OVER 1/4 INCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now everyone tell me what I did to fix THAT.
