Review on 🔧 Gates 91209 Belt Installation Tool: Simplifying Your Belt Replacement Process! by Jerry Chembola

I've had issues with the belts on my 1990 350SDL for the last few years and ended up having to change them twice where I got stuck (tip: always keep a spare belt in the trunk of a 30 year old car). ). I've used a hanger to thread the strap through the bottom and through the tensioner, both times with less than satisfactory results. It works, but only with a lot of effort and frustration and barely enough time to achieve it. This tool is much longer and fits perfectly in the area where I need to reach and thread the tape. Haven't really used it yet, but next time it should make things a lot easier. I wish there wasn't a next time, but with this car I have to be prepared.
