I Just got a new laptop and lotst all the info I had on the company that sells the tools that helps with pushing the belt tensioner. The open wrech on my car strips. So any help/suggestion or know the company who sells that tensioner tool.

 

Does it work preatty well/??

you dont want to sell me your tool by any chance? Saw you where from canada! :-)

 

my wrench wokrs fine snap on flank drive. but if you really need the tool then pulleyboys has it.

 

yeah my tool strips. I will try a size smaller and hit it with a hammer, someone else had the same problem, and they said that fixed the problem

 

Save yourself some money...use vice grips.

 

Use a hose clamp or get BAWLS on yo face NUKKAH! word.

 

wut? ^^^

 

That was me. I took a 15mm Craftsman wrench and hammered it on there.

 

My buddy has at Craftsman Tensioner tool works extremely well.

thats reliable to a point....

 

Yea, I figured that point out. But it worked for the 2-3 times I needed to remove my belt. Other then that, it doesn't need to come off.

 

That tool is probably the greatest thing made. BUT, i used a crow bar. took the end thats slightly curved and placed it between the tensioner pulley and the supercharger pulley. Then i applied a little pressure to hold everything in place and loosened the bolts on the pulley. Next i SLOWLY pushed the tensioner pulley down. Then i took a large screw driver and placed it between the spot where they tell you to put the 15mm wrench and the engine hoist hook. Remove the crow bar slowly. Now the belt should be easy to remove. If not, use the screw driver that is jammed between the tensioner and engine hoist hook and pull up on it to give a little more slack. You should have no problem taking the belt off.

Now if you are removing the supercharger you'll have to remove the screw driver that is now keeping the tensioner partly down. when you put the supercharge back on i suggest taking another belt or something with some thickness and put over the tensioner pulley before you compress it. The damn thing is made out of plastic and i didn't want to break it or damage any of the teeth by using the crow bar on it. Then you just compress the tensioner again and jam the screw driver in there and continue on putting everything back.

 

Thanx guys, but my gf's dad made me a home made tool that bolts on and works like the tool that pulleyboys sell!! , 2nd option would of been the 15 and hammer!

 

got any pics of the tool?
