If people look at the DIY I posted above, you will see the serp belt tool from Harbor Freight.
It was $16 a few years ago, it is now $19...coronavirus special deal lol...

this ratchet will save your bacon in certain situations. It has a super low profile and worked on the serp belt T60.

Its possible to remove the serp belt in the field with a long stick, using it to pry the tensioner to relax, then popping the belt off the PS pulley, on RN engines.

I have not been able to reinstall with the same method.

Useful if the PS pump, alternator, or AC compressor seize and you need to get home less than about 30 miles, 60 miles on outside.

I just use a regular ratchet and a regular T60 socket on the P2 cars. Works great.
