Installation Notes and Tips

Verify pulley diameter, groove count, and bearing bore before installation. Confirm the vehicle application by year, model, and pulley position, especially on Mercedes-Benz listings that note Grooved Pulley or Right passenger-side placement. Inspect the accessory belt, tensioner, and adjacent pulleys for wear before reassembly so the new pulley is not installed into a compromised drive system.
