8T5314 Socket Adapter Available To Correctly Install Alternator Pulley Nut {0601}

Usage:

Machines And Engines Equipped With Delco Alternators

Reference: Service Magazine; November 23, 1987; Page 2, "Correct Torque Value For Alternator Drive Pulley Retaining Nut Is Important."

The 8T5314 Socket Adapter is available to correctly install the pulley nut on 6N9294 (35 amp) and 5S9088 (50 amp) Alternators (Delco). The 8T5314 Socket Adapter is needed because the pulley retaining nut is completely enclosed within the counterbore of the pulley. If the pulley is not correctly secured, the pulley can slip on the rotor shaft. This could result in a loss of electrical charging and damage to the rotor shaft. The illustration shows the tool arrangement, including the 8T5314 Socket Adapter, used to correctly install the pulley nut.
