Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Gates 91024 Alternator Decoupler Pulley Tool Kit - Premium Black Case Included by Andre Brignac

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Essential - BUT

You can't change any of these ADPs without these special tools and they seemed well designed and well made. But a tool I needed for my Dodge minivan, a 10mm H10 extension, broke before the bolt was loose. It looks like the weakest of the various adapters because it needs to be short enough to hook onto the large hex on the pulley and small enough to fit in the recess. Also, it's only a 10mm nut. I am trying to purchase a replacement for this part separately. UPDATE 05/30/14. I found a "Contact Us" link on the Gates website and asked if I could get a replacement for the broken part. They replied within 2 hours and said if I sent my address they would send me a new one. Got a new part today. It seems to have been updated; it is noticeably thicker in the area where the error occurred. My rating is up to 4 STARS because of their great response and updates. If I can actually use it to disable ADP I'll upgrade to five. UPDATE 6/9/14 - It worked. Don't forget (I almost forgot) that you unscrew the pulley from the threaded shaft. Turn the pulley counterclockwise while holding the shaft, or turn it clockwise.
