Replacement of Alternator Pulley

Model: Dodge Journey MK 1 - Years 2008-2020
Part: Alternator

The noise from the alternator pulley is a fairly common fault: to replace it, you first need to remove the alternator and have the appropriate socket to unscrew the fixing bolt. Once the alternator is positioned on the workbench, remove the cap in front of the pulley and, using the appropriate socket, unscrew the fixing bolt with a power tool. Then apply the new pulley, after verifying its compatibility (diameter, number of grooves, and code on the pulley itself), and tighten the corresponding fixing bolt.
