neilc Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 My alternator is dead , I admit it , it's had it , RAC confirmed it , I bought a new one from Eurocarparts who I'm usually happy with , however it didn't come with a pulley , took the old alternator off , there's no way Pulley is coming off that one !! , I bought it from them for £82 because they refund £25.00 for the old one when you take it back , however I think I'm taking the new one back because I can get an Alternator elsewhere for £65 with the pulley , a pulley cost £10.00 so im actually better off without the £25 refund and i dont have to bother messing with the pulley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 You might consider getting a more expensive one. It might last longer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escape Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Or get the old one rebuild. We typically pay around €100 for the rebuild, looks like new and with 1 year warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 A series alternator pulley should come off OK with the appropriate tools. It's been so long I can't recall if they're on a parallel or tapered shaft. If the latter, a bearing puller may be necessary to apply a little preload, then a gentle tap on the end of the puller screw should free it.
