That is the correct tool, and there is no other way to do it.

Ok cool thanks! I have had good luck with Amazon, so I am trying to order the parts from there. Also, I am a prime member so I will have them in 2 days. I am about to place an order for these. I just wanted to run them by you guys to make sure they were the right parts:

Amazon.com: Gates 37014P Alternator Pulley Kit: Automotive

CTA Tools 8088 Bosch Alternator Wrench for VW/Audi - - Amazon.com

Thanks again for the help!

Both are correct.

I removed my belt yesterday to inspect the pulleys and noted that the alternator pulley is seized. By coincidence, I order the Gates pulley as well, but ordered this Lisle tool as the other one doesn't ship to Canada. This should work as well, right?

Here's a photo of my de-coupler threads:

I got the tool and pulley in from amazon. Took me half an hour and worked like a charm. No more racket when idling. Thanks again guys! Now on to fixing my assumed heater core issue (Getting coolant smoke from the AC vents)

Did you have to remove the alternator or you could swap the pulley on the spot?

No need to remove the alternator. It took a lot of pressure with a large breaker bar to get it loose just FYI
