Why This Socket Matters
Alternator freewheel pulleys are designed with internal overrunning clutches that prevent backward rotation. Standard sockets or adjustable wrenches fail to grip the pulley securely, risking rounded splines and damaged pulleys. This socket's 31-tooth spline matches OEM alternator specifications precisely, ensuring the pulley locks in place during removal without slip. The 1/2-inch drive accommodates both manual and pneumatic tools, making it suitable for high-volume service environments where speed matters.
