Hi -

I looked around to see if I could find a cam belt tensioner tool and found this on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G2CW7N7?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I cut the end out of the "non-drilled end" and it fits the 38mm cam tensioner adjuster really well.

Just wanted to pass this along.

Mark

Interesting. I always like more legitimate tool options.

Another option is a crows-foot, along with an extension and ratchet handle. Most automotive/ industrial versions are too thick, but one meant for working on bicycles is more appropriate.

Thanks Tim! I looked all over for 38mm crows-foot and a bicycle wrench (Checked Parks Tool and other sources in addition to Amazon) but I couldn't find anything.
