  • Description

    The Lang Tools Ecotec Serpentine Belt Tensioner Tool (5331) is an essential hand tool specifically engineered to streamline the process of servicing serpentine belts on select General Motors vehicles. Designed for Ecotec 2.2L and 2.4L inline 4-cylinder engines, this specialized tool offers a practical solution for accessing the serpentine belt tensioner from the top of the engine compartment. This innovative design eliminates the common necessity of removing the engine mount or the lower air filter housing, which traditionally consumes valuable time and effort during belt service. The tool's unique double square drive ensures improved leverage and adaptability across various Ecotec applications, while its low-profile head allows it to fit snugly into the often-restricted space between the tensioner and the vehicle's frame rail. This combination of thoughtful design and precise functionality makes belt maintenance on compatible GM Ecotec engines a significantly more straightforward and efficient task.

    KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

    • Targeted Application: Specifically designed for serpentine belt service on General Motors Ecotec 2.2L and 2.4L inline 4-cylinder vehicles.
    • Time Efficiency: Allows for serpentine belt service without the need to remove the engine mount or the lower air filter housing, significantly reducing service time.
    • Top-Down Access: Provides convenient access to the tensioner directly from the top of the engine compartment.
    • Enhanced Leverage: Features a double square drive that offers improved leverage and flexibility across all compatible Ecotec applications.
    • Slim Design: Its low profile allows it to fit precisely into the tight space between the tensioner and the frame rail.
