Alternator Freewheel Pulley Socket, T50x113mm, Bosch-Type Clutch Removal

Brief Overview

This is a purpose-built specialty socket designed specifically for removing alternator freewheel pulleys on Bosch-type clutch alternators. Unlike standard sockets, this tool enables you to simultaneously unscrew the pulley bolt while mechanically holding the pulley in place—eliminating the need for improvised methods or second-operator assistance. The splined male driver engages directly with the pulley hub, preventing rotation during bolt removal and V-belt extraction. Your shop will benefit from pairing this with a comprehensive alternator extraction kit for broader European vehicle compatibility or exploring additional socket variants in different dimensions for varied vehicle platforms.
