I'm trying to remove the alternator pully. I have the seeley sx400 kit. The T50 torxbit is too small and the M10 bit won't go in. Have I got the wrong kit ? |

Probably, I think the right tool is quite "special" My nearest auto-electric shop did not have it. But with so many alternator clutch failures, there are many people in here with precise knowledge and even the right tool. | ||

Reading other posts on this, the sx400 is correct. I'll try and take a picture or use a mirror to count the splines tomorrow. Car has done over 200K km so Could have a non OE pully and bolt ? |

I managed to take a photo in situ. It was clear that it was M10. "Was" being the operative word, it looks to have been bodged in the past. I have removed alternator and done some more bodging but despite heaving on a 2 foot breaker bar it's not moving. Pretty sure it's not left hand thread. Think I'll just get a new alternator, no idea if this one works. Yes I bought a non charging C6... It was very cheap |
