❑ 25 Nm
–
To loosen and tighten
the hexagon nut, hold
the pulley in position
with a commercially
available oil filter strap
wrench.
4 - Drive plate
❑ With overload protec‐
tion. Deploys in the
event of excessive tor‐
que (e.g. if the air condi‐
tioner compressor can‐
not rotate freely). The
pulley then rotates with‐
out driving the air condi‐
tioner compressor.

Clean thread of nut
which was tightened
with locking fluid (e.g.
with a thread tap). If it is
not cleaned, the drive
shaft may be torn off
when it is removed the
next time.

–
To loosen and tighten
bolts, hold pulley in position with a commercially available oil filter strap wrench.
Threaded holes must be cleaned (e.g. with a thread tap) if self-locking bolts or bolts coated with locking
fluid are screwed into them. Otherwise there is a danger that the bolts will shear off when refitted.
Clean threads of bolts which are to be installed with locking fluid using a wire brush. Then install bolts
with locking fluid. Locking fluid ⇒ Electronic parts catalogue (ETKA)
3 - Drive plate
❑ With overload protection (mountings of spring elements). Deploys in the event of excessive torque (e.g.
if the air conditioner compressor cannot rotate freely). The belt pulley then rotates without driving the air
conditioner compressor.
❑ The spring elements of the drive plate absorb vibrations and noise.
4 - Retaining ring
❑ Renew after removal
❑ Do not reverse when installing; chamfer -A- faces away from air conditioner compressor (flat side towards
air conditioner compressor).
5 - Pulley
❑ With rubber elements -B- and threaded plates -C- for decoupling belt pulley from air conditioner drive
shaft (absorb vibrations and noise).
