Review on Gates 91030 Micro-V Stretch Fit Tool for Easy Installation - Black by Roger Diaz

This worked on a 2009 Mazda 5 although not as intended. There is a bolt to attach to the crank pulley which is not suitable for my application. However, the tool has a groove that holds it to the nose of the pulley. The belt installed easily the first time, but the AC pulley was one groove off, so I used a screwdriver to guide it gently while turning the crank again. I couldn't use this tool to remove the old strap so I just cut it off. I think it was easier than the screed method because the first time, to my surprise, it was very easy. Simply slide the belt over the AC pulley and as far as possible over the left side of the crank pulley. Then place it on the pulley with the crescent moon pointing towards the bottom of the belt and turn the crank clockwise. Mine just fell into the car. If you're as savvy as me, just change the spark plugs and belts at the same time while your spark plugs aren't working. This makes crank rotation very easy as there is no compression drag. If it is helpful, please click on it.
