🧰 OEMTOOLS 27261 Alternator Pulley Tool Kit - 5 Piece Set with OAD and OWC Pulley Sockets, Shaft Bits - Ideal for Alternator Pulley Repair and Replacement Review

Perfect fit for my Jetta's clutch pulley. The cost of buying tools for just one job that would cost them in a shop. If you are replacing the same clutch pulley part on a Jetta the easiest way to do this is to remove the left hand bracket (passenger engine mount) and lift the engine over the frame and use this tool and wrench to unscrew the old one to remove house and install the new one.

At my old job, the new mechanics had nice shiny tool cabinets full of socket tools. Experienced mechanics at ASE Diesel had cupboards full of port

Everything else about this tool seems well made except for the part I needed most - the 10mm socket that goes into the 17mm hex fits. I've read mixed reviews about it including breaking the 10mm socket but others have had better luck even with an impact wrench. I soaked PB Blaster threads for two days while waiting for the part to arrive. Unfortunately that didn't help either. Not sure how they could have changed the design due to the limited space but maybe a stronger material would have…

Before I received this tool, I ordered a similar tool kit from another manufacturer. This 10mm bushing broke when I tried to remove the alternator pulley from my car's alternator while it was in the engine bay. I got an OEMTOOLS tool kit and used it with a 10mm socket (hold the shaft with a 10mm wrench) on the same alternator pulley. ) and a 17mm head (hold with a 19mm wrench). To my delight, I was able to remove the pulley with considerable effort (the car had driven about 100,000 km and the…
