May depend on alternator but not seen a freewheel clutch on any M112/M113 engine to date (and I've two at present as well as had two in the past).
Part number I found in WIS is A1121550215 which shows a solid pulley.
When Cole did my pulley he locked the crank using a bar to wedge the torque converter against the bell housing.
Historically I've used a piece of old ring gear cut to the size of the starter aperture then held in place by an assistant as I lean on a breaker bar.
Thanks Kiwi, what WIS was trying to say was the alternator section is 54 sub group 26 why they didn’t just put a link I don’t know, you’re quite right it’s a fixed pulley.
Sorry Dave but at least I know how to check an alternator with a freewheel clutch now, have to return the one I bought or sell it on.
There’s definitely a noise coming from the left side of the engine if it’s not the pulley it might be the internal bearings looks like there’s a kit A0009805215, but might just be worth buying a whole new unit or getting a reconditioned one if that’s the case.
Thanks for your help guys looks like kiwi might be right the ac comp is most likely the main cause now. I’ll have to start putting some money in the piggy bank to get the ac work done .
Thanks for your help again, I’ll post back once I get to the bottom of what the issue was.
