I can't tell exactly where the chirping is coming from sounds like passenger side so maybe it's alternator pulley...I'm confused as to which way to turn the wrenches counter clockwise??
Sorry the video might have been confusing (the way the tools work on the pulley is inherently confusing). Since you can generate more torque on the long breaker bar vs the short wrench, it is ideal to keep the wrench stationary while during the breaker bar instead. As such, the breaker bar should be going CLOCKWISE (not CCW) while the wrench stays put. As for the chirping, do you feel it is the belt or is it a pulley? If the belt is old and needs replacing anyways, it is usually cheaper to try changing the belt first. That is unless you absolutely think the belt is fine.
Had the same problem with my Mercedes. This one pulley trashed my air conditioning compressor clutch plus the idler pulleys as well. Brought a new pulley on line and also the tools to replace it and you would not believe the difference in the car. Now idles sweetly and not a noise to be heard any whre
Bad as in torn to shreds? Are they on the grooves properly? Might be worth taking the belt off and see if any of the pulleys have damaged grooves or the pulley spins awkwardly.
Dude, you are a life saver. My dad and I have been trying to hold the pulley in place. Thank you so much for your video!
INA is a bearing manufacturer, kind of the German equivalent to McGill (both needle bearing specialists)
I have a 2009 c350, i my alternator pulley fixed on to the alternator or can the pulley be replaced?
Wait so it’s not supposed to turn both ways?
Whats the size of the Torx bit?

Hi my mercedes e 230 AT making whining noise from engine what could be the problem??
Make a clip and post it here!
very nice video man!
can you tell me if that's the reason why my belt is going bad I just replaced but it is going bad for the 3d time

Okay thank you very much for your help I will check it out
Hi what's the size of the torx bit you used? Tq
