Title: Where to find belt tensioner tool
Post by: Porchhound on November 11, 2022, 07:35:29 AM
I've looked through the discussion and done online searches using:garage-pro fan belt tensioner 5"-16". Nada. I even used the JC Whitney stock number. Anyone know where to source it? https://c34.org/bbs/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=3667.0;attach=1017;image

Mine was found on Amazon.  The quality was good enough.

Porch : Contact one of your local auto parts stores - they'll probably have one!!

 Porch, did a search for " belt tensioner tool". Found some good pictures of home made solutions. One is really
simple to make, only need to grind the ends of the turnbuckle.
