I wanted to give you a sincere thank you for this vehicle Repair tip it totally saved my frustration level from spiking through the roof LOL
Thanks bro. that was great.
Great tip…!! Thanks Brian.
I’ve had to do that a few times myself. Good way to keep the belt from walking off.
first used the tool it broke then did it your way works every time stupid tool
I use a heavy duty zip tie through the balancer to hold the belt, that way my hand is free to hold the belt on the compressor side.
Awesome!!! Thanks!!
These designs require an exact fit belt. However, a flaw lies in the fact when the belt wears and breaks or comes off. Pieces of belt on these and also the old style with idler works its way into the engine and causes catastrophic damage. I’ve seen several engines do this and the crankshaft also had about a 1/4 inch play back and forth. The crankshaft was floating or walking so to speak, and the misaligned pulley kept eating belts.
Not to mention pieces of the old belt that is probably blocking the oil strainer. It’s sad to say on modern engines a simple bad drive belt can cause severe internal engine damage.
Thank you for everything…
Awesome Brian..
Nice to see you do this without any fancy tools, the same way one rolls on a bicycle chain. Some companies really push their little tool, presumably for smaller pulleys.
