Need the size of the Torx bit or other tool for 335d alternator pulley shaft

Tomnavigator · 10-04-2021, 07:54 PM

I just bought a clutched alternator pulley for my 335d. I think this will help make the harmonic balancer pulley last longer. I looked at the alternator shaft with a mirror and it has a hole in the shaft fitted for what looks like a torx bit to hold the shaft while tightening the clutched pulley.
Does anyone know what size torx bit fits the alternator shaft? I would like to have everything ready and tools bought before I start this job.

Thank you Mary Jane. I think I already have a T50 long reach torx I used to use on the alternators on my VW diesels. I am ready to go if I have the socket.
