alternator pulley nut tool?

[kahmann]

Anyone have a Ford # or other part # for the spline adapter to remove the clutch pulley from an alternator?
My pulley took a dump on the track last weekend on my brand new PA Performance alternator and I need to get it outta there asap. Thanks for any help.

I know it was the same as a VW and I bought it off ebay as well. You just need to take the pulley off the altenator right?

Yeah I just need to get the pulley off the alternator.
The dealers are zero help.

The SD Wheeler saga put the icing on the cake for abuse and the mods binned it.........hopefully only for a short while as I liked it's purpose when used correctly.

I got the tool in the mail today and it zipped the pulley right off. I found that the pulley supplied with my PA Performance alternator is not the OEM Ford pulley. It's built by ZEN in Brazil.
The OEM pulley is built in Germany. I swapped an old OEM pulley onto the PA alternator, while still attached to the engine, and fired her up.
The alternator is good to go, producing plenty of voltage. PA Performance is sending a replacement ZEN pulley in the mail free of charge. Thanks again to 'zuritausmc' for letting me borrow the tool! I've got one on order for myself now, just in case.

Ken, glad it all worked out, I have a chrome alt w/o pulley on the way from PAP so I was wondering what your failure was. I went ahead and order the tool off the ebay link zuritausmc posted above.
Thanks for helping me out guys

Hey guys, I tried the ebay link but its closed. I need to get the pulley off my alt. Also. Any help would be great, part# or anything. Ford doesn't have a clue here. Thanks, Tom

I was in the same boat several years ago. I even went to a ford dealer who sells and installs Saleens SC. They wouldn't help. So this is what I ended up doing.


took an extra long socket and just tack welded it onto the pulley. It came right off.

Plan B would be try going to a VW Dealer and see if they could help. It's a commom german design.

just go to the VW dealer and ask for the tool. odds are they will be cool enough to let you borrow it.

When I installed my friends Saleen, we went to the VW dealer and they removed it for us free of charge. Took them like 2 minutes and we were on our way.

Whats this tool look like, any links or pictures?

 

[dly]

about the only picture I can find. The tool is at the bottom of the picture. It has external splines to fit the pulleys internal splines.

Brenspeed has been known to have a few laying around from all the Saleen installs they do. It's not something listed on their webpage but if you call chances are they will have one to sell for a decent price.

If you need to order a decoupler pulley tool from Saleen the part# is 00-3105-C115760.
