I have no idea if the pully comes off but you could try a scrapper and see if they have one

Has the pulley broken, or has the shaft snapped? Either way, you're unlikely to find a seller who will sell you either part separately so I'd suggest get a complete alternator from a breaker.

I've got a spare alternator wheel from a broken unit (other parts available as well). Free of charge, just pay postage. Email me on [email protected].
