Review on Gates 91030 Micro-V Stretch Fit Tool for Easy Installation - Black by Mark Green

Revainrating 1 out of 5

I spent a lot of time trying to understand it.

Totally useless for my 2009 Mazda 6s. Gates needs to develop a "more universal" tool that will work with all applications. I ended up using zip ties to hold the belt through the gaps in the pulley. Slowly rotate the crankshaft pulley while tensioning the belt. If the cable ties are on top of the pulley, they must be CAREFULLY cut to avoid damaging the belt. I spent a lot of time figuring out how to use this tool as there was no way to screw it onto the pulley.

Pros
  • Good value for money
Cons
  • Slightly dented
