For those that have changed the alternator pulley, if you can help.
I cracked open the panel behind the seats to examine the belt and pulleys.
The alternator has a free wheeling pulley. if I grab the pulley and twist it, should I be able to "ratchet" the alternator in one direction or is the mechanism work only at high RPM? On my car, the alternator shaft appears to be locked to the pulley.
