Serpentine belt tool??? 850

Hi,

I just rented this serpentine belt tool at autozone and I can't seem to figure out how to use it? Where exactly do you place the drive in? The tool only has a 1/2 drive? I this the right size or do I need a bigger drive. Thanks!!

You use it like this...put on your bandanna and do the snake dance back and forth, singing, '
"In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
won't you bring me to your shanananananananana knees knees?
In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
feel my, my, my, my serpentine!


I apologize for this thread. That is my wife sabotaging my thread.

Yeah, yeah....heard it so much....blame it on the wife huh? You think that women don't read these threads? Have you no shame???.....NO SEX FOR YOU! (sex nazi!)....in the dog house tonight for sure...as I am already....another story...sigh :(

Okay, on a more serious note. Not sure if the size is correct, but you want to be able to lift the serp. belt tensioner so you can take the serp. belt off and not have the tensioner pull away. It is awfully tight but others have used other tools and then a bungie cord to hold it up. Good luck and let us know how it's going.

ha!! yup!! it was the wife. She thought it was funny! Anyways, on this picture...there is a hole in the middle of the tensioner. Is this where I place the 1 inch drive?

Yep. For a guy that is always looking for a hole to insert his tool, you will find that it is a perfect fit.

I hope your wife is getting a kick out of this. It is fun to aggrivate another Volvo owner. You know we are unique unto ourselves. :)
