Went to see if I could loosen the serpentine on our '03 CRV, it's a tough one. Am thinking it's worth buying a tool so as to get good leverage--less likely to hurt myself.
A regular socket on a 3/8" breaker bar won't fit.
I have an offset box wrench that gets in there cleanly, but I need a cheater on it.
I don't think the HF makes sense here? if a socket won't work then this won't either?
It looks like I need a special tool for this Honda? I think I saw a thread where someone just removed the engine mount and jacked the engine instead. Most just cobble cheaters of sorts and I know that works... I'm just starting to get more apprehensive about doing such things (busted knuckles).
[Note, it does have a 14mm end, that got clipped from the screenshot.]
Is this worth getting, or is there something better? and would this tool work on my Corolla? I don't have anything else that has a serpentine tensioner.
