Alternator pulley swap

[stellz996]

Alright so when i ordered my lightwieght water pump pulley it came with a matching alternator pulley option so i ticked yes, of course it was only when i went to fit the alt pulley i realised the fj has a decoupler pulley, basically im just wondering if its possible to swap the decoupler to a solid pulley, this would be mainly to remove the chance of the decoupler leaving broken down somewhere.

Any one who knows if its possible or whos done this please chime in

I do not think it is? I see you are across the pond from me, and the ones I have always seen are the same as the idlers. simple pulley with a standard bearing. What year is your truck?

2014, its definetly a decoupler, cant just inscrew it, can feel the torsion spring in it

By decoupler, are you referring to the tensioner pulley?

No the actual alternator pulley has a clutch in it
