WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford Focus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove the generator. REFER to: Generator - 2.3L EcoBoost (257kW/350PS) - MI4
.
- Using a small screwdriver or similar tool, insert the tool through the rubber button on the center of the pulley cap and pry off the cap. Discard the cap. A new cap must be installed if the clutch is OK.
- Using a 17 mm hex tool bit (such as a Snap-on® SAM17E2 or equivalent) and socket wrench, insert the 17 mm hex tool bit into the end of the clutch shaft.
- While holding the clutch pulley firmly by hand, turn the clutch shaft clockwise. The shaft should rotate smooth and freely. If the shaft rotation is rough or seized, install a new generator clutch. REFER to: Generator Pulley .
- While holding the clutch pulley firmly by hand, turn the clutch shaft counterclockwise. There should be some resistance (a spring feel). If the shaft rotates freely, install a new generator clutch. REFER to: Generator Pulley .
