yes, the alternator pulley looks like the one with the cover. after the cover's removed, I see two spline features consistent with the tool photo.
I've grabbed the pulley and twisted it cw and ccw as hard as I'm able to. could not feel the one way slip clutch. the alternator shaft moved with the cw/ccw rotation. I've taken a flat screw driver to hold the shaft (inner spline) and tried to rotate the pulley CCW. I could not.
there's a little "tic" sound whenever I change the rotation of the pulley.
I suspect the clutch is fried.
I browsed the web and found some Utube video where if the slip clutch is frozen, the tensioner roller vibrates. maybe this is where my 1K to 2K noise is coming from.
??? should I be able to rotate the pulley CCW and get the pulley to free wheel?
