Rear pulley came apart while driving approximately 35mph on a city street. Inner shield has come apart from the sprocket (shield is steel and staked onto the aluminum sprocket). Belt has a lot of play now and might slip off the sprocket. I googled this issue and found that I`m not the first one to encounter this issue.
