Review on EWK Timing Adjuster Tensioner Holding by Victor Glatzel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Did the job with no problems

I had one of these (different brand) a long time ago but as I was doing the job on a different machine I figured it would be best to have a new one juuuust just in case i need it. Turns out I REALLY need it, haha, that part of EWK gave me no trouble. You MUST make sure you are 100% sure that whatever brand you use, the tool is resting on a real brake pad and NOT a metal clamping bracket. It's very easy to put some pressure on the chain if you have a holding tool so you can move the tool away from the metal bracket. After that, just tighten it like any other holding tool. If you don't pay attention to where it pinches (you only have to do it once at the very beginning of tightening) then you're sitting on that metal brace and the tool will break no matter who makes it. That. I've done this work multiple times on different vehicles and have had no problems with the tensioning tool.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Slightly dented
