Review on 🔧 Enhanced Motorcraft BT97 Belt Tensioner for Optimal Performance - Improved SEO by Bobby Plymell

Progress as expected. Three (3) screws to remove old tensioner. It came in with no problems. I highly recommend using a "flat breaker" (or 3/8 inch pull rod) to install a new serpentine belt. I used a standard 3/8" ratchet and ended up having to cut it out (need a new one). The problem was that the new belt was tighter than the previous one, so the ratchet (mounted in the tensioner) stopped right in front of the other bolt head once the new belt was inserted. This didn't give me enough clearance for the ratchet. If you have the right tools (and a helping hand to install a new belt) this shouldn't be a big project. Overall, this product has worked very well. 2013 Ford Explorer Limited.
