That was beautifully done. Quick to the point and effective!

You’re a lifesaver, I’m pretty sure my tensioner pulley is bouncing around under my timing cover, thought it was rod knock but I need to rip the pulleys off and take a look at the timing with basic hand tools. Thanks !!

This was amazing, thanks. Id rather buy 3 belts and install them myself before buying the tool.

Justo hoy tengo que sacar la polea y tu vídeo es muy importante para hacerlo .. Siempre es más barato comprar una Correa nueva que una herramienta mucho más cara y que no se ocupará siempre .

If the belt slips on the crank wrap it around the AC tensioner mounting point instead of the alternator pulley, if you have one.

The belt doesn't have enough slack to tuck if you put it on the ac clutch

For some reason this belt trick is not working. After giving it the tension, the pulley is still sliding from the belt..

I learned yesterday there are 2 small holes one on each side of the bell housing about half way down you can put large screwdriver in to hold the engine from turning while removing subaru harmonic balancer from my 96 subaru with an automatic transmission......

@@yourghostisagift mine was a 96 subaru... had to really look but found the holes easily about 3/8 round... just slipped in the screwdriver while turning crank with 7/8 socket till they slipped into a notch... easy day... usually I had 5 speeds and never had problems getting harmonic balancer off

You guys can use vice grips to hold the belt to the pully while you losses nut

The problem with your idea is most people have all the pulleys off the engine when it comes time to loosen the bolt...so theres nothing to put the belt on.

I tried this method but it destroyed my belt must have been on old belt that needed to be replaced anyway.

Not a great thing to do to your alternator, especially if it's been years since the factory torqued the bolt. Simpler to do a socket, breaker bar, pipe and starter bump.
