    Optimax compressor pulley sheered bolts

    05 225 optimax
    1b028641
    425ish hrs

    Sheered the bolts on compressor pulley as we started back in yesterday. Compressor is not locked up and builds compression and takes a little effort to finish the stroke. I am gonna pull it off today for inspection, but I have read where this was an issue in 04-05. Any advice or info regarding this is appreciated.

    Bolts sometimes back out and to pulley movement shears them off. Be sure to put locktite on them

    I pulled the lower cowl and found all 6 heads. On the fence about just replacing the compressor or not.since pulley isn't on there I cant check for play, but it was running fine and didnt even hear it happen, just started missing and not charging.
