Darren, that makes sense---if my belt alignment is off, it is putting forward stress on the water pump pulley---is this a common thing if belts are out of alignment? I've heard of shafts breaking, i've just never seen the actual pulley mount come un-pressed from the pump itself. I've had the car close to two years---thanks for the tip.
