Hadn't thought about possibly missing a woodruff. When I did the wife's
4Kq TB last week, there was no key in that pulley so I spent an hour filing
a little one I had around down to the right height to permit the pulley to
slide over it. This one wasn't sheared it was absent. We've owned this
car since '98 and driven it 40-50K miles. The PO had a repair ticket for
the TB shortly before the purchase, but I don't remember if the waterpump
was included. It was a leaking WP that prompted the change of everything.
