Gates Subaru Micro-V Stretch Fit Belt Installation Tool

Gates is well-known for making reliable engine components, and their 91031 tool is designed to help you tackle a specific job on certain Subaru models. If you're working on a 2008-2011 Subaru Impreza, Forester, or Outback and need to replace the serpentine belt, this tool is what you'll want in your toolbox.

This isn't your average belt; it's a stretch-fit belt, meaning it's designed to be installed without a tensioner. That sounds simple, but getting these belts onto the pulleys can be a real challenge without the right equipment. The Gates 91031 tool is specifically shaped to help you safely and effectively lever the belt over the last pulley. Using the correct tool helps prevent damage to the new belt during installation, ensuring it lasts as long as it's supposed to.

Having the right tool for a stretch-fit belt installation makes the job much smoother. It's a simple, well-made piece of equipment that takes the frustration out of a potentially tricky repair.
