V-Belt Adjusting Tool

V-Belt Adjusting Tool

Here’s a nifty little tool for adjusting Vee belts that used to be available from J. C. Whitney. (I have yet to locate someone still making these things, but I'll keep trying.) The barrel of the tool expands as it’s turned to force the two pulleys (drive and alternator or water pump) further apart. You can also over-tighten the belts, so be careful.
