Just as the title states, i want to borrow or rent your alternator pulley tool set if your local (LOS ANGELES area). I live in Long Beach and can meet up tue/wed to pick this up from you and drop it off later this week.
Im helping a coworker out by replacing his alternator pulley on his bew tdi engine (its siezed).

send me a message if you have this tool set, thanks.

Owner of car does not want to purchase the tool set since he wont need it after this job

the locked pulley doesnt usually effect performance.
if there is an issue in the serp/alt. its probably the tensioner or a bearing in alternator. 120k is how long mine lasted once it froze

i think replacing the pulley is a smarter alternative then just leaving it on there siezed and not free-wheeling. Eventually if the pulley isnt replaced, you'll be replacing the pulley as well as tensioner and possibly belt if it breaks or develops abnormal wear
