Generator Clutch: Removal

NOTE: This procedure only applies to the 2.0L GTDI.

Remove the generator. Refer to Generator -- 2.0L GTDI .
Using a small screwdriver or similar tool, insert the tool through the soft rubber area on the center of the pulley cap and pry off the cap. Discard the cap.
NOTE: Do not insert anything into the fins of the generator to prevent the rotor inside the generator from turning. Inserting items into the generator could result in damage to the generator.

NOTE: The shaft and rotor will turn during removal.

Insert a 17 mm hex tool into the clutch pulley. Install an impact gun onto the hex tool and use the impact gun to remove the clutch pulley. A couple of short bursts with the impact gun will remove the clutch pulley.
