No, they are two different parts. Why where you removing it anyway???

tHEW DAMPER PULLEY FOR THE SERPENTINE BELT CAME OFF OF THE DAMPER.WHEN I TRIED TO REMOVE THE DAMPER THE LOWER GEAR CAME OFF WITH IT.I FINALLY REMOVED IT FROM THE DAMPER AND NOW I AM IN THE PROCESS OF PUTTING IT BACK ON, AFTER I TORE APART THE FRONT OF THE MOTOR.IS THIS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE GEAR COMING OUT WITH THE PULLEY.IT WASLIKE IT WAS PRESSED ON.THE OLD GEAR FITS RIGHT INTO THE NEW DAMPER.
