Can I save this Discovery II or send it to junk yard ?
I bought a 2003 Discovery off craigslist for $2000 from a guy that looked like OJ Simpson who claimed it needed a power steering pump. I installed new power steering pump and it ate it up within 5 minutes. I then noticed harmonic balancer wobbling. I removed it with ease as the 24mm bolt was not even torqued. After further inspection I notice the harmonic balancer hub is cracked in the key slot and has spun on the crank, the woodruff key looks flush with the crank like it is sheared off. So is this even fixable or should I just junk it?

If the crank snout isn't mangled, you should be able to get the broken piece of the key out with a punch and hammer, and clean it up with emory cloth.
A new or used balancer pulley, and it should be ok.
The bolt needs 200' lbs.
Lots of people think they can just get it tight and it's ok.
Some get lucky...others have your problem, or worse damage. A drop of medium thread locker is a good idea too.

It's worth replacing the W key part#: ERR2846(G) & most vendors will have them in stock.
