Doesn't work on 2003 Corolla LE

Great addition to my tool box but will not fit the 2003 Corolla LE turnbuckle. The screw on my machine required a thin Torx bit (T50) to get into tight spaces. My guess is that Toyota has used different bolts on this pulley over the years of production.

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Made the job a lot easier than it could have been

What a great tool for removing the idler pulley on my Toyota Corolla LE. It saved the day for just a few bucks. I gave it to my backyard mechanic friend after he helped me with the job. I am sure he will still have the opportunity to use it again on another machine.

Pros
  • Good stuff
Cons
  • So so

Cheaper than dealer

Fits as expected and I couldn't complete my 2008 XB alternator swap without it. In truth, it's easier to completely separate the engine mount (even the coolant spill plug) and jack up the engine. Than trying to wedge that nut between the engine and the wheel well.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember

Good tool but couldn't use it. Too thick.

Needed to replace the tensioner on my 2002 Camry. Usually you have to replace the entire pulley bracket and hydraulic tensioner (big job). I thought I should just change the pulley but the tool is too wide. It does not fit between the bolt and the vehicle frame. It would work if it was thinner.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Pays for itself the first time you use it!

If you work with Toyota with this setup, you will need this tool one day. This time it was a Corolla Idler. If you look at my photo, you can see a "special" bolt on the left side of the image. I used a ratchet wrench with this bushing to force it into the tight spot between the chassis and both to loosen the "special" screw. It took less than a minute to remove and paid for itself on the first use!

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Fits great! For my 2003 Toyota Corolla LE made in USA.

I have a 2003 Toyota Corolla LE, made in USA (non Japanese version) and needed to remove the idler pulley, this head fits the special bolt perfectly. In my case I used this bushing on a pulley and removed the belt and that was it, I didn't have room for a ratchet. I just used an open ended wrench and easily came out to check how much space you have. This bushing actually measures 32mm (1 1/4") deep, it's really small, but check your workspace (you may have to loosen the motor mount and lift the

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick start guide
