Default Crank pulley problems. need help :(

My crank shaft pulley is making a nasty noise, my mechanic said it needs to be changed but I would also have to change the part that goes inside which allows the pulley to spin??
so if i switch out to the aftermarket underdrive pulleys would it fix my problem?

Your mechanic is a retard. There is no "part inside" a balancer that allows it to spin. It's keyed onto the damned crankshaft so they're always in lockstep, literally.

Go to Kragen, buy a new balancer. install it. Come back. Say thank you r3d you're so smart.

And yes, underdrives would fix your issue. I'm assuming you have a GT.

BTW... exactly what kind of a nasty noise? If it's coming from your balancer STOP DRIVING IT.
