Re: [MBZ] $#|¥@

[OK Don via Mercedes]

So, can you replace the alternator from a '90 - '93 OM602 engine with a
solid pulley?

Hmm, that alternator has the clutched pulley (I recently installed one on
the alternator on The White Whale). I'll bet it was the clutched pulley
that crapped the bed, not the alternator. New pulley is about 30 bucks,
then you need a special tool (I have it) to install. Are the alternator
shaft threads really gone, or are you looking at the remains of the
clutched pulley?

Last night I was driving home about 10:30 and heard a thunk up front 
of the $500E300, then a message comes up “ Battery Charge” and 
steering was hard so I knew either the serpentine belt had broken 
(new) or alternator had munched.


Pulled over to a lot in a little shop as the temp was rising and 
parked. Popped the hood and saw the alternator pulley was gone and the 
shaft was ground down so I figure the alternator had seized and the 
pulley was spun off the shaft. That was quick.


Luckily I was close to my friend’s where Max and I have our Benz bits 
stored in her barn so I rang her and she came and collected me and 
gave me a ride home. Soon to hook up the trailer and go drag the thing 
home. Bah.

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

I think so but in my case the shaft was all chewed up and would 
not have locked in to turn a new pulley.

Thanks for the info, I have not looked at it yet, will need to pull it 
out of the car.  I'm thinking what is left is probably the remains of 
the inner race, the rest of it departed.

Hmm, that alternator has the clutched pulley (I recently installed one on
the alternator on The White Whale).  I'll bet it was the clutched pulley
that crapped the bed, not the alternator.  New pulley is about 30 bucks,
then you need a special tool (I have it) to install. Are the alternator
shaft threads really gone, or are you looking at the remains of the
clutched pulley?

Last night I was driving home about 10:30 and heard a thunk up front of the 
$500E300, then a message comes up “ Battery Charge” and steering was hard so I 
knew either the serpentine belt had broken (new) or alternator had munched. 

Pulled over to a lot in a little shop as the temp was rising and parked. Popped 
the hood and saw the alternator pulley was gone and the shaft was ground down 
so I figure the alternator had seized and the pulley was spun off the shaft.  
That was quick. 

Luckily I was close to my friend’s where Max and I have our Benz bits stored in 
her barn so I rang her and she came and collected me and gave me a ride home. 
Soon to hook up the trailer and go drag the thing home. Bah.
