Complete Your 2016 Toyota 4Runner Alternator Decoupler Pulley Job with the Right Tools and Parts

When tackling the replacement of Alternator Decoupler Pulleys, it’s important to keep a few related products and tools in mind to make your DIY efforts smoother and safer. Besides the decoupler pulley itself, you might want to grab new serpentine belts or tensioners, as these components often work together and can wear out around the same time. Don’t forget a solid set of hand tools like a ratchet and socket set, and a torque wrench to ensure everything is tightened to spec. If you have a particularly stubborn pulley, a pulley puller kit could come in handy. And of course, always prioritize safety; make sure the engine is off, cool, and disconnected from the battery before diving in, and wear safety goggles and gloves to protect yourself from any debris or sharp edges while you work. Happy wrenching!
