If you need to work on any of the accessory drive pieces, ie alternator, power steering pump, coolant pump, air conditioner compressor, ... you don't need the belt tension release tool from Ford. An every day 1/2" socket wrench fits right in and works well.

 

1/2 inch breaker bar works better

 

1/2 breaker bar and a pipe.

/one upsmanship.
//what's next?

 

Well I could use some tension release sometimes.

Didn't know there was a tool for it...

 

LMAO!

 

Mine came stock with the wife.....unfortunately she doesnt use it as often as I'd like.

This one went down hill fast!

 

LMAO! I think there's a mod to fix that...but it'll cost ya some big bucks!

But on a serious note...my father was a mechanic, so he had the correct tool on hand anyway when I needed it.

 

are you speaking of the diamond mod?

 

Exactly! But you gotta watch out...you start out with the diamond mod, then you quickly end up throwin' away *all* your money into that bottomless pit. It's best to have an end goal in mind, before you start your modding.

 

I'd take the wife back under the lemon law, LOL

 

Nah, past warrenty and too much money spent on mods....at least she's got low miliage. =]
