This is the identical OEM INA pulley sold at a franchise Mercedes dealer.
To check the integrity of your
alternator pulley, simply remove the belt and place a screwdriver into
the front of the alternator cooling fan to stop the armature from
rotating. Then turn the pulley by hand. If it moves one direction but,
not the other, it is functional. If it will not rotate at all, it has
failed.
Freewheel Clutch/Pulley for alternator. This unit is standard equipment on all Sprinter alternators. THIS IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF THE SERPENTINE BELT SYSTEM AND A KNOWN CAUSE OF BREAKAGE PROBLEMS
IT IS COMMON FOR THIS DECLUTCHING PULLEY TO FAIL, LONG BEFORE THE ALTERNATOR WEARS OUT. A special tool is required for installation of this unit and are not usually replaceable outside a repair facility.
If you are purchasing a new alternator, you will not need to buy this, as the alternator is furnished with a new pulley.
This tool is required to remove and replace the decoupling alternator pulleys on all Sprinters, with either Bosch or Valeo alternators and Metris, as well.
