Where are you located Neil? Maybe a member can inspect your work and give you some guidance.

With encouragement from some of you dreamers, this fearful wrench novice got some rtv ("Permatex Ultra Black RTV Silicone Maximum Oil Resistance Gasket Maker" https://www.autozone.com/sealants-glues-adhesives-and-tape/sealant/p/permatex...) and removed my generator/crankcase cover to access the leaking wire grommet.

I'm fearful about tearing the rubber or wires, but seems like "slathering rtv" around it means I slide it out of the cover housing?

Neil, in your Reply #1 you posted a nice picture of your pulley.  I know you said you have some sort of other post on your pulley, but I felt I should point out that your pulley nut is loose.  If you enlarge the picture you posted, you can see the nut has rotated away from the folded tab on the lock washer.  You also have a lot of red-rust residue coming out from under the lock-tab washer, indicating that you have fretting goin on.  If you haven't already addressed the loose pulley, I suggest you do it before you ruin your transmission output shaft.

Hiko mentioned this in reply #20.  Did you do anything about it?
